| Add Methylprednisolone review I'm very dizzy, & my dr. prescribed Methylprednisolone tablets. Doc has me taking the 4 mg dose for 6 days as he explained it would be a BURST of meds to fix my tingling/prickly feeling & numbness in my two last fingers & palm of my right hand!? At the end of Day 2 & noticed my digestion is better...but I woke up at 5 this morning & couldn't go back to sleep!? Also from early on in Day 1 that low constant headache & jitteriness & sleep ... I am taking this 4mg, 6 day pack to clear up a sinus infection. The first night I had trouble sleeping and woke up with my face looking like I had a sunburn. The worst side-effect is the feeling of pain and fullness in my stomach. I am hungry but don't want to eat as that makes it worse. I will not take this drug again unless absolutely necessary. I'm taking this drug along with an antibiotic for an infection in my tooth. My endo started a root canal but was unable to finish due to inflammation and infection. I am now pain free and am not swollen. I haven't had any side effects and am on Day 4 of a 6-day pack. Taking this for sciatica. Terrible pain all down my right leg. Didn't start it until after the 3rd day I got it because I dont want to take medications and I have never seen such strict rules and scary side effects on any meds O've wver taken.

However once again this only happens in very cases. I am currently taking a short burst worth of prednisone in increments of 10mg. 4x per day for 3 days, then 3 of those tablets 3x per day, then 2 of those tabs for 2 days then 1 tablet for 4 days. I currently have bronchitis (I am almost 54, have had chronic Asthma since my mid teens). I have been taken several Asthma meds daily for years now and over the course of these many years I have taken P ... First: Keflix, upper respiratory infection, active cough, discharge, got worse after 1 wk, the: Z-pac from e.r., still got worse, now 3rd wk., fan. Dr. put me on prednisone, steroid, finally not coughing at third of 6 days, still weak, shaky, sweats. I was put on this for asthma since my inhalers were not doing the trick. Problem is that I am very sensitive to medications and I am only on day one an I am having severe arm and leg cramping, but on the plus side I am able to breath better. Doctor now put me on a lower dose hopefully this will help with the cramping | |||
