Prednisone Dosage
Posted over a year ago
I asked this question two years ago and received no responses
so I'm assuming this dosage is way off the charts, however I am
aking again has anyone ever been prescribed 1000mg oral prednisone, and if so, what were the side effects?
Mugsapug - Yes, I would say this dosage is way off the charts. I have been taking Predisone for about 6 months for Alopecia. The dosage I started out with was 40 mg for 5 days, then dropped to 30 mg for 5 days, then 20 mg and then maintaining a dosage of 10 mg. I had recently went back to 20 mg for 2 weeks and have noticed some side effects, swelling in my face and increased appetite and weight gain. I can't imagine a dosage of 1000 mg, I would think this would be very dangerous.
Jdsharma - your going to need to wein off that very carefully. i know that is an overdose amount. i rly hope ur doc is monitoring u daily. weightgain, anger and other unfortunate symptoms may most likely happen as u go off. xoxo
Vandygirl - My body could not handle 120mg every other day so I had to go to 60mg every day which my Dr says is the same thing but my bode said NOOOOOOOOOOOO. I jut couln't do it. Felt like I was totally falling apart.
