Will it go away

You are only 11 years old and you are taking this drug that cause MANY side effects??!! GOOD GRIEF!!! This is another case where drs. are prescribing a children !!! There are many natural products to help health issues . . .instead of children taking drugs !!

well, the first question is: why are you on it? what's your condition? has it helped- i trust it has since you are weaning off. you say you were on a very high dose- how high? having recently spent a month on 60 mg with no side effects other than talkativeness, i can tell you that the taper is often worse. my face never got puffy until i hit 30 mg. my right hip started to hurt at around 20 mg. the worst thing was that after i was completely off, i started to lose hair and my old asthma, which i had licked naturally, came back with a roar. i read that it can take a year to get back to normal after being on prednisone. also that it can stir up old conditions that you thought long gone like my asthma your glands and hormones may not work right afterwards and you might need some help. hopefully, that help will be in the form of natural supplements and not more drugs

p.s.- while i was on prednisone, i didn't gain an ounce. i took lots of fish oil which provides omega 3's which are natural anti-inflammatories and also will help with cholesterol (prednisone tends to push that up)
