Comment:
I am currently taking a 10mg dose of prednisone for shoulder pain. I have taken this medicine before. I must be one of the lucky ones since I have experienced no negative side effects. For me it is truly a wonder drug. That being said, I have never used it for more than three consecutive weeks.

Medrol pack....First day or two out of 6 days on meds I don't sleep literally for 48 hours...winds me up and I am taking it for bronchitis but the plus is I have right sciatica nerve pinched and it has helped so much with the pain of walking up stairs. The 3rd day I finally sleep for at least 10 hours. The pros outway the cons for me on this one.

Withdrawal has been a nightmare. I was given this drug for 6 weeks due to sinusitis and bronchitis. I can't sleep, can't stop shaking, and feel depressed. Never again!

Comment:
It has made me nauseated, my heart has been racing. I'm hungry all the time. I feel like I'm not able to breath well when I lay down, kind of smoothering like. It is not taking away the pain from the inflammation in the nerve in my back, like the doctor thought it would. Really disappointed in mmy progress.
