I used prednisone for sinus inflammation and it gave me bad side effects such as: irregular heartbeat and stomach upset and anxiety. It actually did help with the inflammation but I stopped using it because of the side effects. It made my lip puff out too, which i did not mind because i have small lips and i looked better with a bigger lip, lol! I am thin so if it made me swollen i did not care because i need to gain weight, i am only 105 lbs. I just started taking methylprednisolone tablets packet and they seem to work better and if it causes increased appetite that would be good for me because i lost so much weight because of my teeth and sinus pain i had everyday for four months. So far it is working but i just started it and will keep you posted. It does seem milder than plain prednisone I suggest you switch to this if the prednisone is not working for you. It sounds like most people are on too high of a dosage and take with food and a lot of water. Hope everyone feels better soon.

hey, i went to the doctor today and they prescribed me the prednisone pack. I have always been paranoid about taking new medications so i am debating whether to take this or not because of all the bad reviews online. I also have sinus inflammation that is why it was prescribed to me and I only weigh 95 lbs so i am also concerned about it weakening my immune system. Any advice?

There are many natural products/alternatives . . .instead of taking drugs that cause side effects. Unfortunately, most drs. are drug-happy, since that's all they know.. . .why give your $$ to the drug co's ??
