After reducing to 50 mg and then 40 and 30 for three days each, I then "wanted" to die. I thought I was going to die after a few days on 60 mg but it was a "high" which I thought I could live with. That was the beginning of my descent into hell. I went to the ER about 6 weeks ago with contact dermatitis and vasculitis (I learned at the ER) and was given a Cortisone shot and 63 Prednisone pills. I know it's been several months since the previous post here but if I can help one other person to realize that they are not alone - that they are not going nuts or just totally crazy then it will be worth it to take the time to post.
I hope this helps you and anyone else who's just ended prednisone.Īnonymous - Well, this is going to be a long reply. Anyway I'm now avoiding sugar like the plague & I think that will help me through this adjustment period. Maybe it just drove my blood sugar up so fast, together with the prednisone still residual in my system.I don't know a lot about this stuff, it's so tricky. I know sugar isn't good for me anyway ) But with prednisone still in my system & my body still adjusting, I think that's what sent me into hyperdrive. I think the sugar triggered this reaction, where normally it wouldn't.
PREDNISONE INSOMNIA HELP PLUS
My heart was racing like I'd just run a marathon.īefore the headache I had a lot of sugar, we just had two birthdays in the family & I had a piece of cake plus some candied ginger (which I adore). At the end of it I started breathing really heavily, like I had to breathe hard with my whole body. This went on for about another hour and a half. I was shaking uncontrollably and felt very cold. So I took ibuprofen and after an hour and a half, finally the headache subsided. I didn't associate it with the prednisone (having been off it for three days already), but now I know that's what caused it. Then yesterday, I had a very bad headache ( I never get headaches). You're always wondering, is this permanent? Thank God, that stopped after three days. The first three days off prednisone, my legs were extremely wobbly, I had to hold on to things as I walked around. I'm wondering the same as you, when does this stuff completely leave your system? I had 60 mg for 3 days, 40 mg for 3 days, 20 mg for 2 days and then 10 mg for 4 days. Both times I was prescribed prednisone, I think because of having had lots of infections, my doctor wanted to be sure I would heal well.Īnyway I finished 12 days prednisone on August 3, so this is the 5th day I'm off it. I had two ear surgeries this year, April 29 and July 23. Otterpond7 - I guess this isn't exactly a "success" story yet, but I appear to be coming through this stuff ok. How long did it take you to feel "normal" again? I know that the drug is probably out of my system at this point, but I just want to stop feeling all these symptoms. So.for those of you who have come off prednisone, can you please tell me about your experiences after finishing the medication. Today, however, my anxiety is just out the roof! I don't feel tired like I did, but instead I feel almost too revved up-like my adrenal glands are overcompensating or something. Luckily, though, the heart palpitations let up, so that was nice. Sat and Sunday I just felt like I had the flu or something.I just wanted to sleep and I felt kind of nauseated and headachey. Well, I took my last 20mg Friday morning (Aug 1), and have not felt much better since then. Throughout the time I was taking the pills, I had terrible anxiety (which, I usually have anxiety, but nothing as intense as this), crying spells, heart palpitations, trouble breathing, you name it! I spoke to my doc and some pharmacists who told me that these were all side effects of the prednisone and should subside once the drug is out of my system. They did not tell me ANYTHING about this drug, and had I known the awful way it would make me feel, I would have refused it. Then they sent me home with a 15 day taper of tablets.60mg for 5 days, 40mg for 5 days, and finally 20 mg for 5 days. I had a severe allergic reaction two weeks ago to an unknown substance, and they gave me prednisone thru IV at the ER.
