Just amazing how things react differently on different people. I have been on Prednisone for almost 5 weeks now and have LOST weight. I eat because I am supposed to not because I want to, I am NOT hungry !!! I sleep like a baby too... go figure? However, I am weaning off it and am down to 5mg a day and I am experiencing headaches and leg pain which I did not have while on a higher dose (15mg). I love the stuff although I think I am in a minority of one in the world. I feel great when I am on it even though have used it in the past and developed cataracts from it at the age of 48 (now 49) and have already had one cataract removed.

I too have experienced a complete lack of appetite. I am not hungry at all and have lost weight from the prednisone. Since I have been on it I feel like I am making myself eat because I have to, which is strange for me. At the highest dose 50mg I experienced euphoria and excitability. It was very odd. I take it for asthma, and have been on it for about 9 days now. I am now weaning off of it and am at 10mg, and am experiencing headaches.
