I was given Prednisone by mistake by my pharmacist! I have been taking 20mg/day for 2 months. I just found out I am not even supposed to be on it!! Now I am doing the tapering, and after only 2 days, I have gained 5 lbs, am exhausted, my ankles are swollen, and my knees and ankles ache. After 2 weeks on Prednisone, I had what seemed like a UTI. I went to my Dr. {not the one who I thought had prescribed the Prednisone} and found out it wasn`t a UTI. I recently was having very bad dizzy spells, and headaches also. Does anyone know if I will have permanent damage from taking this drug, especially when there was no medical reason to take it?
