Hi, I was put on a dose pack today, not sure after reading all the side effects. Has anyone been put on just a small dose pack? Starts out with today i should take 6, tomorrow 5, etc.... till down to one than done. Have major back and knee problems can't afford any sort of weight gain to trigger problems with muskuloskeletal Thanks for any experience or input any of you may have with this sort of dosing.

Yes, I gained weight within the first three days on that same packet.

A buddy of mine was prescribed prednisone and he reduced his caloric intake to 1500 cal/day by eating five 300-calorie meals a day (every 4 hrs), limiting carb intake to 30 "net grams" of carbs per day, and limiting sodium intake to 1500mg/day and he didn't experience such side effects as swollen face or weight gain often associated with the drug.
