User Reviews for Medrol (Pak) oral

i think the dose is to low not working like it had in the past

I took the medication for inflammation in the ankle. It took the pain away plus other aches I had. My body feels great and I am only on day 2.

was diagnosed with severe dyshydrotic eczema. i had both extremely dry/cracked skin and wet blisters on both hands. really painful and unsightly. was prescribed medrol. day 1: 10 minutes after i took the first dose, i felt as if every blister on my hand had a heartbeat! it hurt like mad, but thinking in retrospect, i think the meds were making their way thru my body (yes, that quick!). couldn't sleep much that night. woke up every hour. day 2: woke up with absolutely no pain whatsoever! hands were still an eyesore, but they didn't hurt anymore! day 3: hands start looking like they're healing! day 4: hands are about 50% healed. blisters dried out, no new ones. day 4: hands 75% healed and i can make a fist for the first time in 2 weeks! day 5: hands 90% healed. feel great. -- DEFINITELY SATISFIED WITH THIS MEDICATION!Read More Read Less

I used this drug to dry up poison ivy. it worked, but the taste in my mouth is awful. Nothing tastes good. I have 2 doses left, but decided to quit.

It caused me to go into a steroid psychosis, which is listed as a possible reaction. I had no idea what was happenng to me until I was well into it thanks to savvy clinicians, otherwise it could have been diagnosed as some kind of mental health issue. It was absolutely horrible, and I had to take anti psychoisis drugs and mood stabaizers for quite a while. Freaky.

dry mouth, sun sensitivity, felt flushed on face hot and col sweats, and also was hungier

I have severe arthritis in foot/ankle from an injury several years ago. The pain and swelling had flared up tremendously and after taking Medro Pack, I can actually get out of bed in the morning and put weight on my foot and the swelling has disappeared. The only side effect I experienced was insomnia...a small price to pay!

Was prescribed Medrol Oral Pak to treat possible Herniated Disc in lower spine, before scheduled MRI in 2 weeks. 25 minutes after ingesting AS PRESCRIBED, I felt severely nauseated, had difficulty breathing, became very lightheaded, had some tightness in my chest and vomited. For a few hours afterwards I felt like I was in a dream state and had trouble remembering things I had just done. It was one of the strangest and unpleasant experiences I have ever had. I've talked to some people whom this medication works wonders for, however for me, it was a nightmare.Read More Read Less

It worked immediately. No side effects

Taking dose pak (6 days of decreasing amounts) for flare up of arthritis in spine/hip area. Have experienced about 90% relief. Amazing! Just hope it lasts.

taking 32mr/day of mederol for severe pruritis. Causes my heart to race.

It helps the pain!

For 2 days I was unable to use my right arm because of joint pain in my shoulder. I am on day 2 of this med and I am already close to being pain free!

Used to get a shot once a year (or 6 months), but my doctor died. It was a cortisone/steroid cocktail and it was very effective. My new doctor made me try Medrol (Pak) and it works wonders. But I am not sure how often I can take the pills and the effect is gone in few weeks. I am 75 years old and my body has been rather abused by sports - so do not expect to be totally without some pain. Please advise!

I was suffering with bursitis in my hip, back pain with pain radiating down my leg. I took this drug and it helped take the inflamation out of my entire body, including my sinuses. I experienced no side effects except I felt warm and did have a couple of night sweats. Otherwise, I feel much better with the pain out of my body.

This drug help my inflamation,but noticed that my hair got very thin and I lost a great amount of hair .Could this be a side effect of this drug. Thank you -Yolanda

I did gain weight but it has gone away after I was done taking it.
