Methylprednisolone 4 mg pack was prescribed for nerver pain in my back. After the first day I was very tired. By day 2 the fatigue was so bad that I missed two days of work. I'm very pale and my heart rate is between 96 and 103 while laying down. I did finish the pack. There is some relieve of the nerver pain. Not sure if the medicine helped or if the vists to the chiropractor helped. 2 day after finished the pack I'm still extremely fatigued and am unable to complete a full days work.

Took 2, 6day packs 4mg for 2 ruptured discs causing crippling back pain. Could not walk much at all or stand straight. Im 37 years old male, have always avoided any meds if possible.
Results:
Back pain went away after 10 days, along with good chiropractor visits, cold pack treatments throught the day and lots of lying flat on my back wearing a brace provided by chiropractor.
Side Effects:
-Sleepy during day, difficult to sleep at night.
-Slightly blurred vision.
-Constipated at times and loose at times, small amounts blood in stool three times.
-Frequent trips to urinate with uneven flow all the time.
-Have had slight occurances of heartburn.
-One week after 12 days treatment was over the pain returned more and more and I started to peel on my face without being in the sun, without redness and I have been well hydrated.
-Maybe depressed but may also be caused from needing to cancel scuba diving trip due to condition.
Starting to take 6 day pack again for returning pain. Wish me luck...thanks
