http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26647 I was given 20 mg of Prednisone for 10 days for a rash and joint pain. The pain went away and I felt great the rash got a little better.

OK, it has been proven to reduce inflammation but other than that it is useless.

I am tapering off my prednisone, went from 60mg to 40 to 20mg. I was diagnosed w/vocal cord nodules and loss of voice. Sinusitis/pharyngitus.

I was just prescribed Prednisone 10MG. I am supposed to take 2 a day for 5 days and then 1 a day for 5 more days. This was prescribed to kick out a sinus / nasal infection. A few days prior, I was prescribed Na http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26647?item=5704 Sun, 23 Mar 2008 20:04:34 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26647?item=5762 I have had severe asthma my entire life. Even after leaving the hospital after a particularly bad attack, the MOST prednisone/methylprednisolone dosage I have EVER been on is a 50mg taper. It is usually a 4mg/blister pack. I would seriously call the doctor http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26647?item=5762 Wed, 02 Apr 2008 17:14:06 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26647?item=6503 On the original question, I have read that you can't stop COLD TURKEY with this stuff, it can throw your body into shock...So I would be careful coming off... talk to your doctor about your concerns as well... For my story....

Without this drug I would have died a long time ago.

Look, as much as Prednisone sucks, it's the best stuff out there for inflammation. I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis a few months ago... and for me, it's either take the Pred or get a perforated colon and die. The Pred effects suck, yes, http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26647?item=9198 Sun, 15 Jun 2008 14:24:42 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/26647?item=9199 Oh, and one more thing, I agree with the person above and whoever else said this; YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TAPER OFF OF PREDNISONE. OTHERWISE, YOU COULD GO INTO ADRENAL SHOCK. If your doctor didn't taper you off... you possibly need to find a new doctor.
