I am so relieved to have found this site... i have been miserable...

I'm glad I found this site too. I just need someone to help me understand that these side effects will go away someday. I took 60 of the 63 prednisone pills I was prescribed and just couldn't make myself take the last three and I don't think it mattered. I was almost dead from the reaction to the prednisone by that time anyway. I took 60 mg for 3 days, then 50 for 3 days etc. It was alright at the high doses but when I got over the 30 mg half-way point I really started to get sick.

I have terrible reflux, chest pain (had a heart test at the ER and nothing is wrong), itching, frequent urination, depression, SEVERE anxiety, diahrrea, can't sleep, heart about to pound out of me, sore throat, a rash on my arms (took it for a rash on my legs which cleared up), headache, blurred vision, feel like my eyes are going to pop out of my head and all of the symptoms listed on the page about prednisone psychosis.

I would rather have had the whole body rash since it would have eventually cleared up on its own rather than take this god-awful medication. If I get ulcers I think I'll sue someone. Not really, but I feel bad enough to do so. I'd love to hear from those of you whose symptoms resemble mine. I'll never take this medication again. It's just not worth any benefit I gained from something as simple as an allergic reaction to both salts. Email me. I'm just sitting here because I don't feel like doing anything else. Just to move is a great effort. I feel as if I'm trapped in someone elses body. I don't recognize myself.
