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.

ive been on this steroid several times for:
-asthma
-exczema
-poison ivy

my side effects are actually humorous. I have delayed reaction time,i get dopey and start drooling, and im very very giggly. Some of the not-so-funny side effects are jello-like feeling in your legs and arms, severe nausea at night after you take the dose for the day, lack of sleep, and my head feels 20 pounds heavier.

this steroid works very well, nothing else really does anything for me.

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.

I just started taking meth pack 4 yesterday. During the night my legs started hurting and they are hurting worse today. I am taking this med for my sinuses. My Dr. told me to eat yogurt to calm my stomach. I guess I will continue my med but I don't like the feeling I get.

I have taken the first 4 tabs of 6 for the first day. My legs are aching terribly. Taking the methylpred for hurting lower back. The med has not yet helped with that problem.

I have been taking the drug for two days now and I have experienced weakness in my legs and shortness of breath. I am a cardiac patient with a pacemaker. I wonder if this drug is causing my shortness of breath. I'm afraid to continue taking the medication, but it has helped the pain in my wrisk.

I have been coughing for three weeks. I started wheezing , then the uncontrollable coughing and yucky phlem coming up. After the 3rd week and all the OTC cold remedies later, I became short of breath. My first thought was congestive heart failure because I'm still wheeezing. Fianlly a Dr told me I was having broncholispasms and my broncholi tubes were practically shut and I was not able to get any air. After breathing in from an inhalerator for 10 minutes, he prescribed Methypred. I'm on my first day and my legs ache terribly and I can't sit still for the pain in my legs. Has anyone ever experienced this? By the way, I havent coughed much all day and my wheezing is letting up.
