I'm a recent kidney transplant patient and currently on 5mg of Prednisone daily which I guess is the lowest dose. I started out on a much higher dose. At first I didn't really notice the side effects. I attributed my weight gain to lack of physical activity during my surgery recovery and the acne was minimal but strangely enough it seems that as they have lowered my dose the acne seems to be more pronounced and I continue to gain weight. I haven't expereinced any of the psychological effects people have described. I really want to get off the medication because of the acne and weight gain but I probably will have to take it the rest of my life.

I am a kidney transplant patient. I have been on prednisone for two years. I immediately noticed a lot of weight gain because of extreme hunger. My atitude is out of control. I am very aggressive at times and other times I am very emotional. I definitely feel this stuff plays mind games on you. I have also developed diabetes 2, a lot of muscle ached and knee and joint pains. Has anyone else had these problems?
