Valium ambien symptoms and conditions

I have been on prednisone on and off most of my life. I have sysyemic lupus and many other medical diagnosis--but I had a svere rash all over that didn't respond to PO steroids--even high doses--100 mg a day. I saw my dermatologist and she said the Kenalog wud clear it right up--not once did she mention ANY side effects. Now, I know me--and how I respond to medications. While on prednisone--I have to take sleeping pills, and anti-anxiety agents or I become truly psychotic. But I am telling you what--I have NEVER had such a psychotic--nervous reaction to anything. I was like a different person and taking 10 mg of valium, ambien and resperdal did NOTHING to combat theanxiety and psychosis caused by the kenalog---not sure if its metabolized differently than the PO steroids but I truly could not sit still for days after getting the injection. But I am telling ya--IT WORKED!!! In about 72 hours this horrific psoriasis looking rash was drying up and disappearing. I had no problem with it leaving a mark in my buttocks either--I just checked to make sure--but--this is a miracle medication--but the side effects are HORIYFYING!!!!!! iN FACT, i HAVE THE RASH BACK--MY pcp THINKS ITS FROM LUPUS AND ONCE AGAIN THE PO STEROIDA SRE DOING NOTHING--SO i AM GOING BACK TO THE DERMATOLOGIST TO GET ANOTHER SHOT--BUT WILL DEFIANTLY GET A PRESCRIPTION FOR xanax, valium AND ANYTHING TO MAKE ME SLEEP AND NOT GET THE PSYCHOSIS.Oh---it does causeyou to gain weight---I gained close to 25 pounds in 10 days and have yet to lose it. and I have been on steroids most of my life and not gained that much--EVER!!!!! And LASIX does nothing for the fluid retention and swelling. MY heart felt as tho it was gonna beat out of my chest--and my heart rate and blood pressure went sky high--and I am on caridzem 120, and toprol for HBP. If you can tolerate the side effects--than this medication will treat whatever ails ya!!!

I am not even sure I really have asthma. A german doctor said that I do not have it but all American doctors say I do. I have been on Advair for 3 years and noticed weight gain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, hoarseness to the point of total loss of voice, a rash on my face, major hip pain, shoulder pain and back pain, and vertigo. I spent almost a whole year at specialists to find out why I kept loosing my voice. I went to a eye/nose/throat specialist who couldn't find anything and proposed speech therapy. Then I was sent to a thyroid specialist who put me on synthroid but also said that this has nothing to do with my loss of voice. I was even on 6 weeks of total voice restriction. At one point, with all the back, hip and shoulder pain, thyroid stuff, etc., I was on 8 different, heavy duty medications from valium to triple antibiotics and such. Now after reading all of these emails, I will take myself off Advair, Lexapro, Vioxx, Valium, Ambien, Lipitor, Synthroid, and pain killers with Codein. I really thought I must be going crazy but now it all makes sense.

Thank you all!
