Methylpred DP and knees

I am an insomniac and this medicine has caused it to get worse. I have not slept since I started taking it and I am so tired but just can't sleep. I have had nausea, constipation, back pain, burning eyes and pain in my knees. I can't sit with my legs bent without have awful pain in my knees and when I lay with them straight they fall asleep. Has anyone had this problem? My heart races more then usual.

I have just taken my last dose and ever since I started it I haven't slept. I am so tired but just can't sleep. It's bad enough that I'm an insomniac anyway and this has just made it worse. I also have pain in my knees. If i sit with them bent they hurt and if i lay with them straight my legs start getting numb. Has anyone had this experience? My back aches all the time now. I have also had the constipation that goes along with it.

Took it one week , was taking a nap n woke up with my knees hurting me. Got up thinking poping em would help. Wronge, this was a 12 noon. By 5pm i was in sever pain n crying n screaming . The pain was from both knees down to my feet. WORSE THAN LABOR PAINS NON STOP!! I ended up at the hospial n had a shoot that was to help me . It did for only an hour n a half. Was in pain rest if the night n by the way no i could not walk. I waited till my dr office was opened n was wheeled in grom the back n he done all kinds of test on me u could ever think. In the mean time im crying n moaning bad n beggig GIVE ME A SHOT TO KNOCK ME OUT PLEASE!!!!! He sent me home on pain pills to take ever 4 hrs until it ran it course.I now am walking very slow n weak in my legs but its only been 3 days now n im up to taking a pain pill ever 6-8 hrs now n I also lost my job, from being off work and im a single parent.
Last year i had brontchis. Doctor gave me steriod shot n it kelpt me up for 3 days . I was scared people said thats the way people are on drugs. I just knew i was scared to death n i even to the hospital n they gave me a very stronge sleeing pill that would knock me out . Then went to my doctor next day n was digonased with insomea.

Yesterday my doctor prescribed the dosepack for reaction to a tic bite that wouldn't clear up on antibiotics alone. He also thought it might help my chronic sinusitis. My sinuses are better and my knees which have a little arthritis also feel pretty good. The rash from the tic bite is slowly fading already and I am only on the 2nd day of 6. My only problem is the night time dose. I woke up feeling anxious several times last night and my legs were twitching. I am not looking forward to this evening's dose.
