Methylpred DP and insomnia

I was precribed this medication for lower back pain that went down my leg. I took it for one day (6) tablets as precribed. I had trouble sleeping that night, but thought it was stress related, but I now find other people had this problem. Also, the next morning I took the one tablet as prescribed and broke out in a rash on my face, neck and chest, plus I had feelings of needles in my arms and was hot all over similar to hot flashes. I will not take any more.

I am taking Methlypred for an allergic reaction. I was initially given Prednisone (which I had taken before with no serious side-effects other than insomnia) and had a fairly severe reaction. The methylpred does seem to be clearing up the allergy problems. The main side effects so far seem to be an occasional tingling, itchy feeling and belching shortly after taking the medication.

I was given this medicine for an adverse reaction to an antibiotic, I am not sure it was really an allergic reaction though, because I had no sweling. The antibiotic was prescribed for sinusitis and probably an ear problem ,that was supposed to be the cause for my first and only problem, dizzyness.
Anyway, I've been feeling really weird. First the anxiety, then the headaches, now a burning sensation in my neck and back and later insomnia. I can't differentiate what is a disease and what is a side effect. This symptoms are driving me nuts. And the worst is that my dizzyness is even worse. If I new the side effects s I would never have taken this.

The drug was prescribed for gout following a long hospital stay. It helped a lot and mobility was increased. There was swelling of the legs,feet and genitals(male), some sleeplessness,and increased appetite.
Some of the issues may be partly attributed to post op or other related personal diagnosis.
