I can tell u some of my symptoms after stopping pred. a month ago. At first I felt like my skin on my face and neck had been thru radiation. I still cannot tolerate the heat. My insomnia is still there. The swelling in my face and the weight gain is rapidly going down. At first I felt like a black cloud was over me all the time. It's not so bad now. Good days and bad days. I lose my temper really quick and then other times I just sit there and think "whatever" It will get better. I've been light headed and very,very tired. Just go with what the day brings. Watch the sugary foods and high carbs, it will cause the stomach problems to flair up. Take it easy. wonderwoman
