Singulair gave me multiple bumpy rashes on different areas of my body. It took over a year for the rashes to clear up after stopping my medication, even with prescription cream from my doctor. Very annoying and embarrassing. I had them on the tops of my feet, my right knee, right thigh, abdominal area, and top of my left hand. My doctor was not able to determine why it would give me rashes, so I did some research. It is a little known side effect, so beware! It only happens to 1 out of 10 people, but you could be like me and be that one person. Other than that, I was asthma symptom free - that's why I continued to take it until I couldn't take the rashes anymore.

I started taking 20 mg periostat doxycycline hyclate to treat my acne. Prescription cream (retinol A) was not working 100% because acne on my chin kept coming back. I find this med to be very harsh on my stomach, i felt some sort of nausea from time to time. I drank at least 2 cups of water after taking it and also took it with food. After 10 days, I couldn't continue. I don't know if I should have taken it longer, maybe twice a day (instead of once) but my acne is now back. I am going back to see my dermatologist for alternatives. I also noticed that combined with my birth control pill, I had some sort of need to urinate more frequently.

I am 49 yr old male and was diagnosed with a severe upper respiratory infection. Was put on Prednisone for 20 days. I never did experience depression, but I did experience the hyper state and was full of energy big time. It was actually nice ...had felt better than I had in a long time. Two of the side effects that I have been experiencing is sweating a lot more than normal ... I mean just the littlest of exercise and my shirt is soaked. Also my back and the back of my neck has broken out with acne ... that really hurts. I am using Desoximetasone which is a prescription cream and it has almost cleared all my acne up. I was about 250lbs and lost to 235lbs in the twenty days I was on it. I never changed my eating habits ...weight just fell off ...... man I wish they could put that it another pill without all the side effects. Now that I have been off for a couple of weeks ...I have gained some of the weight back ... but I'm really trying to change my eating habits and get back to 235 and go lower.

There are so many different opinions of Prednisone ...there has to be a reason why you have so many effects for some and very little for others. I did research this drug while I ws taking it and read that if you take it for longer than 30 days that your body will stop making the natural prednisone that it makes. Thats why you hear when people take it for long periods of time ...you are destined to take for the rest of your life.
As far as lung condition, I can breathe again and I think I'm totally cured ... I have a follow up with my lung doctor next week.
My prayers are with you guys .... I agree .. I don't think I want to take Prednisone ever again. My blood type is AB+
