I have been on pred for 6 days after takin solu medrol dose pack for 6 days for an allergic reaction. The med helped the rash and itch immediatly but as soon as i taper down the rash is back full force. I dont know what to do I cant take the steroids anymore, I am a rotten crabby person on these, i have heart palpitations and sever muscle spasms, it has to be from the steroids. If anyone knows how i can feel better please let me know. I also urinate constantly and only sleep in broke up cycles with wacky dreams..........

I'd get your doctor to prescribe Hydroxyzine-there are minimal side effects, just a little drowsiness the first couple of days and then it tapers off. You can stay on it for months or until you're sure that the rash is gone for now. It will stop the rash in 3 days time. I'd take 25 mg at a time my until the rash is gone, then you can get the doc to administer 10 mg pills so that you can regulate and taper down a bit for maintenance(to keep the rash at bay).
