An extreme case, taken for asthma unfortunately my body got addicted to it, and was unable to stop taking the drug without increased asthma attacks which then required ever increasing doses to get my asthma under control ending up at 120mg per day for 18 months, side effects were extreme and to numerous to list. However once again this only happens in very cases.

I am currently taking a short burst worth of prednisone in increments of 10mg. 4x per day for 3 days, then 3 of those tablets 3x per day, then 2 of those tabs for 2 days then 1 tablet for 4 days. I currently have bronchitis (I am almost 54, have had chronic Asthma since my mid teens). I have been taken several Asthma meds daily for years now and over the course of these many years I have taken Prednisone maybe three times. It is very helpful for my breating, I must say, but good God, it doesn't help my migraines (unfortunately, I suffer from those as well). While the Prednisone is opening up my valves in the lungs, of course it does so in other areas of the body, too, hence me suffering dearly with migraines. I realize not everyone will experience this side effect, but I do need to get well and "breathe." sigh... Thank God I very rarely have to take this medication; albeit it does help open my airways unlike no other medication has.

I was put on this for asthma since my inhalers were not doing the trick. Problem is that I am very sensitive to medications and I am only on day one an I am having severe arm and leg cramping, but on the plus side I am able to breath better. Doctor now put me on a lower dose hopefully this will help with the cramping
