Creatures symptoms and conditions

I started taking 80mg a day for a rash I developed after the Celestone didn't work. This has been the worst hell I have ever gone throught, I would much rather have given natural birth. 80mg a day for 5 days, 60mgs a day for 5 days, 40 mgs a day for 5 days, then 20, and 10 for 5 days. I am on the3rd day of 40 mg. My face is so swollen. I have had to cancel social events as I cannot even carry on a decent conversation. The nervousness is over whelming. I cannot work . I come home and drink alcohol to take the edge off, which the affects are greatly exaggerated, but no hangover in the morning, which I'm sure is putting my body through hell. The Dr. gave me 25mg of vistarill to help me sleep. Wonderful drug! If it wasn't for my dogs, I would be insane, as they are the only living creatures I can stand to be around. I am going to cut my dosage to 3 days instead of 5 to start weaning myself off. I read on another web site that the moon face should start to dissapear when I go down to 10 mg a day. Thank GOD!
