I took Prednisone for an allergic reaction to a Bee bite that turned into cellulites after a few days. My arm and leg swelled up to the point where I had to go into the emergency room. They put me on a prednisone drip and then prescribed prednisone for 10 days tapering down from 60 mg a day to 10 mg a day. I felt horrible on it! Could not think straight, massive headaches everyday to the point where I could not go to work! Then once I went down from 30mg to 20mg a day, the with drawl that your body gets is the worst! Nassau, more headaches and forget about thinking straight! and yes your face does look like a moon after a few days... Try drinking a lot of water Now I am on my 2nd day with out it and I still feel the side affects but I hope they will go away soon :( This drug works but I hope I never take it again.

I was put on Prednisone for a bee sting turned cellulitis as well...today's my first day off. I have felt dizzy, numb, had trouble sleeping, lethargic, you name it. I still don't feel right...can't seem to concentrate very well. Did the side effects clear up for you?
