Prednisone
- Thread starter mini-x2
- Start date
They can give a lot of side effects. As they are usually given for respiratory issues, not being able to breathe trumps any potential side effect.
Also missed out an ol marra.

What’s it prescribed for?
What are you suffering from? I’ve had them prescribed a few times and always feel invincible by the end of the course. But they’re steroids so will promote weight gain
Excellent.

A chest infection because I have asthma. It’s cleared it up great but I’ve felt stressed to fuck the last couple of days for no apparent reason and restless as fuck when usually I’m pretty chilled out believe it or not.
Steroids

Its a steroid (not gym type) and is used in inflammatory conditions like asthma, arthritis etc
Usually the main issue is long term use and you can get high blood pressure, cataracts, immune issues, weight gain, thin bones.
It can also increase energy and I saw one bloke go psychotic on it after a few days of a really high dose - was running around the ward I was working on bollock naked screaming and needed pinning down by a few burly psychiatric nurses
How’s your concentration levels?
I had a course prescribed only last week (five days, five tablets a day) and I’ve been away with the fairies this week. Can’t keep my mind on the task which is unlike me.

I've had prednisolone quite often. Am asthmatic and prone to chest infections, usually it takes two weeks of antibiotics and the tiny tablets to get me right. I am usually desperate for anything to help my breathing but don't think I have had any side effects, haven't felt amazing either like. GPs try not to prescribe them for very long. Hopefully you will feel better quickly but talk to your GP the next time and tell them how you felt this time

Well I’m presuming I’m feeling this way because of having these tablets. Like I say they cleared the problem up that they were meant to but I’ll never take them again.
Porters right boot

I’ve just this week come off these after nearly two years and never had any side effects my ESR blood test results were in the high nineties when I was prescribed them this has now come down to single figure…..one thing they can cause is type 2 diabetes especially if you are pre diabetic before starting on them

As a suppository for Colitis, I piled on the weight and got high blood pressure
restarting smoking cured the colitis and removed the need for suppositories, but smoking didn't help my blood pressure, I'm giving up the tabs now and dreading living on the bog.
