Title: came off prednisolone
Post by cher on Mar 5^th, 2002, 4:26pm

:( never felt so ill in all my life, i feel breathless, faint, dizzy irritable, and the amazing nightmares i`ve had are frightening.

next time i go into cycle i`m not taking these pills. i`d rather just use the imitrex on thier own.

fed up

prednisone is a weird drug. i feel great the first 3-4 days and then i start getting stupid and then the psychosis hits in and i can't sleep and talk to my self and become paranoid. really annoying. but there was one time i used it and i had no side effects. i took it for almost 2 weeks and was fine. three other times it messed me up. i stopped it and like 2 days was back to normal. i was only taking like 60 mg a day. ( i think..yeah) pretty low whatever it was. i also tried dexamethasone. that was worse. so bad. messed me up real good with side effects. good luck. i'm doing the same and just using the imitrex inj. but running out quickly at two a day. expenive habit. insurnace only gives me 4 (8 shots) for 30 days. bastards.

I've said it b4 and i'll say it again. BeWARE prednisone. That stuff is no cotton candy. It can mess you up BAD. After my experience of having temporary cerebral palsy i think i'll explore the many other options out there. by the way, the time i took pred i was in one of my worst ch cycles ever and it did NOT stop the attacks in any way shape or form so why bother anyway. Good luck.
