Prednisone... anybody ever take it?
Answer:
I did almost that same regimen , but i did 5 (50 mg) for the 1st day, down to 1 (10mg) on the 5th day. It really wasn't that bad- My face was flushed in the evening and i was slightly more aggressive. My boyfriend said it took less to upset me. However, i got tons of compliments from people saying i looked good- It did help even out my complexion. Just make sure to drink lots of water, i remember being pretty thirsty. Good luck. BTW- steriods lower your immune system function, so take Vitamin C and wash your hands lots to avoid getting sick.
thats nothing i was taking more than 60mg for more than 6 months... and now im on 10 mg. the only side effect is that your hair falls out more often... and you get sicker often too because your immune system get weak...
as long as the dose is tapered for only one week..it is OK
*****prednisone side effects come in to play for long term usage and high doses.****
for a 7 day course you will be fine ..you may have some side effects but you really dont start getting them until you have been taking it for more than a week at higher doses .
it does weaken your immune system &makes you more able to get sick but like i said before most people dont experince side effects under a short time frame because my brother has taken it for asthma for a week on that same cycle and not had any side effects either..
You're being prescibed such a low does i don;t think you'd see many side affects from it. Maybe a little bit more hungry.
I took the same regimin and i DID NOT like it. I was irritable, hungry all the time, and couldn't get a wink of sleep. I was originally put on it for an allergy attack and i would never take it again. I was miserable, my poor dad had to sit up with me because i would cry and carry on if he didn't, i had no control of my emotions. I'm sensitive to medicine but this was way too horrible to chalk it up to my being sensitive.
yes i have taken it before and it you do not have to take it for a long period of time you will be fine. Just make sure you take some vitimins C and E to boost your immune system. Make sure you eat when you take the pills they can upset your belly. Your hair will not start falling out if you only have to take it for a short time period. If you are worried about it you can get Biotin at healthfood stores which makes hair thicker and fuller
