I was on Deltasone for a week prior to Brain Surgery and two weeks thereafter. I weighed 118lbs when I started to take the medication. Within 8 weeks my weight had increased by 62lbs. The increased weight first appeared around my waist then spread. My urine became bright green with large amounts of suspended protein visible to the naked eye. I developed what I was told was IBS which is how the health care system accounted for the blood in my stools. My urinary P.H. level went from a average 7.0 to a 5.0 and below beacuse I no longer absorb potassium. Unusual mood swings, severe anxiety attacks, insomina, muscle spasms, because of the severe heartburn my Zantac dosage was increased leading to more side effects from the Zantac and at one point (for 5 months) my bladder just barely function and I could only pass urine in small quanities even though my bladder was full and painful. After an ultrasound the first urine I passed was 75% gravel to the 25% urine. An average blood pressure reading for me is now 95 over 59 with an elevated pulse. Still the Nova Scotian Health Physicans either did not know or did not believe me that it could possibly be drug side effects. After all I was only on the Deltasone for 3 weeks. I am now seeing a Homeopathic Doctor, an Osteopathic Practioner and a nutritionist. Deltasone/Prednisone should be recognized as a dangerous narcotic.
