I have been taking 120 mg every other day for Idiopathic Focal Segmental Sclerosis kidney disease for 1 1/2 months. I lost ability to read in my left eye and was diagnosed with Central Serous Chorioretinopathy. My kidney doctor told me this was very rare, but is now taking me off the prednisone gradually. I have had all the usual side-effects but the most bothersome has been the sleepiness/no energy during the day. I have been getting up every hour on the hour every night to urinate. Ambien was prescribed, but nothing really changed. I decided to try it without the Ambien last night. I actually slept longer getting up about every 2 hrs. However, I woke up with a terrible headache this morning. Anyway, hopefully my side effects will go away as he Prednisone is reduced. I can't wait to see what the next drug does to me.
