Methylpred DP and upset stomach

High blood pressure, dizziness, upset stomach, some diarrhea .Feel Like I have the flu. The one and only pill I took kept me asleep until 10:30 AM. I have not taken one since, and it's been 2 days, and I'm still quite sick.

After taking this medication for about a week, I have been experiencing severe upset stomach, tiredness and severe, severe leg cramps in my calfs during the middle of the night that cause me to "try" to stand up and walk them off.

I have taken 2 days of the 4mg pak. I am also taking avelox and I have a pain in my back on the right side which may be from either of these drugs. I have an upset stomach so I think the pain is stomach related. I had a bad cold for 2 weeks before going to the doctor. He said it would help my chronic bronchitis. So far it hasn't. I'll see.

I am taking methylprednisolone on the 6 day course, am on day two. I am also taking Panlor pain medicine. The combination of these two has produced a very interesting and for me a very pleasing side effect. When I am layed down to sleep, but not quite asleep, I get a somewhat mild euphoria. Then followed by hypnogogic pre-dreamstate imagery that is sexual in nature. Then when actually asleep and dreaming the dreams have been incredibly vivid and intense, in one case a nightmare that resulted in my physically yelling and waking up, which is highly uncommon for me. For me nightmares or intense dreams are a good thing, I am a sometimes lucid dreamer and I enjoy such experiences. I am hoping that these side effects continue. Other than that I get a mildly upset stomach because I do not follow the directions and drink a full glass of water. I should note that this side effect is not present on the Panlor alone, only in combination with the corticosteroid. I was given the steroid to reduce inflamation of my sciatic nerve, and so far it does not seem to have helped, but its only day 2. I might also add that I have been happier, more likely to laugh, although I am not typically depressed or anything, I assume this is a more latent form of the euphoria some people experience.
