Prednisone for Allergic Rhinitis Reviews

"DO NOT TAKE THIS. I was prescribed prednisone 5mg for 8 days, taking 8 the first day, 7 the second, 6 the third and so on. Even with being tapered off the medication I had severe withdrawal. The first few days after I felt okay, I just had a headache. Then I was so sick I could not move from bed for a full 24 hours. I was nauseous, had heart burn, an increased bpm, dizzy, and incredibly weak. It has been a few days since I started to feel bad and nothing has improved. While everyone's reaction is different, I strongly recommend you do not take this medication unless absolutely necessary."


"This medicine prednisone has made me feel bad from day 2. Not sleeping, nauseous, shortness of breath and feeling bad EVERYDAY. I will take a shot if I ever have to take this again. The side effects are true. It's not worth it to be on this medicine!"
