1mg prednisone no side effects it's the only way to go, it still slowly takes inflammation down, the higher the dose of course it's going to do crazy bad side effects,
This really is the best information about this drug that’s been delivered to me in any form - from my doctor, pharmacist, and the packet stapled to the RX. Thank you so much for making these excellent videos. Anyone even taking a small / short dose of Prednisone should watch this video series. 🙌
15 years ago [ 2009 ] my dad age 72 got put on it [ PREDNISONE ] >>> he started walking long distances, at a Fast Clip Pace >>> he said he felt like Superman !!!

My mom was way past her menopause & couldn't handle him; i caught him watching PORN all day. He was crazy, manic - mania - he decided to enlarge his lack home the yard >>> he chopped down 6-7 trees with my brother and did stump grinding on them.

I started on a low dose (5mg/day) 3 weeks ago for a autoimmune flare up and the dose gradually increased till now I'm on 20mg/day. Not feeling great but better than the autoimmune symptoms, which are still there, just a bit muted by the prednisone. So hungry..... I feel like weight is piling on really really fast even though I'm eating super healthy, heaps fruit and veg, all home cooking from scratch, but larger portions trying to keep this hunger at bay & stop me eating crap, processed rubbish. Tick hot flashes, tick insomnia, tick fatigue, thankfully no mood impacts. Can't wait to get off this stuff. Thanks for the info. xx

Two days on prednisone gave me permanent hypertension. This is because chronic Lyme patients must never be given prednisone, and doctors should not take shots in the dark approaches to diagnosing when they could first diagnose by a patient’s symptoms and clinical engagement.
Hi Dr.Megan I was on prednisone for 1 month including the taper and didn’t really experience withdrawal symptoms but 3-4 days into the prednisone literally OVERNIGHT my belly became extended it’s big and pokes out much more than it every did and it happened within one night. What could this be is it Cushing’s syndrome or fat redistribution. Prednisone also affected my insulin resistance but it’s so weird and upsetting that my stomach got big like this overnight. I’ve been off the prednisone for almost 7 months now and my stomach is still big. Also I believe when my stomach got bigger so did my legs overnight. What could this be? My salt levels are normal so it’s not water retention. I appreciate your advice.
Just finished my 8 day course of Prednisone....now I am so incredibly lethargic and sleepy, that I can't stop yawning.😴😴 I need to go to work, but have no energy to do the work of a Front End Supervisor.....what to do......?????? 😞😴😕😞😴 I guess I will go to the walk in clinic and get a doctor's note for the manager. Thanks again for your help 🙂. Miss Monique 🙂🕊️💗🎶🎉
@@bekamoreno I did have to quit that job due to being bed ridden and realizing that the store was giving me Sick Building Syndrome on top of the MECFS and the bad reactions to the Prednisone.....good golly!!!!! Horrible experience 😢😔. So, I am now job hunting for a new part time job. Not too sure of what to do....I would rather teach more piano lessons if I could. More prayer. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Miss Monique 🙂🙏🌷💗
Thank you Dr Morgan, will taking this Prednisoline for 4 or 5 days affect my bodybuilding and adrenal glands when and after training? I’m 46 with Gout attacks once a year around Christmas when I drink , I rarely drink and have underlying Arthritis history. Anyone feel free that knows properly please. Jeremy.

You must not be in enough pain to refrain from drinking around Christmas once a year! Good Lord! I'll trade you! I've been in severe pain for 40 years! Do you know of anybody that wears a fentanyl patch and takes oxycodone and it doesn't even touch it? Well now you do! Count your blessings young man!!!
Again super explained, this drug is no joke. For me it works in higher dose well( severe excema) but reducing the itchy comes back. Is there a long time effect for liver and kidneys?

Hi Dr Megan. My rheumatologist has diagnosed connective tissue disorder. I have suffered with multiple autoimmune diseases over 40 years and now the muscle and tissue pain is horrendous. Was put on Prednisone a few months ago and it was like a miracle. Can I take this long term as no other medication works for ne. Would appreciate your advice. The pain was debilitating and the steroids made life liveable again
i have been taking prednisone for over 10 years. at first 5 mg/day. now 10 mg/day. had a little weight gain, but it's gone now. a bone density test recently showed minimal osteopenia in the lower spine, which is common in women my age. since then i have begun to take vitamin d3 and k2 and magnesiium. hope this helps you to not fear taking it for long-term
New sub here,my 44 year old asian wife has terrible chest congestion, her doc prescribed levofloxacin 500 mg,plus 16 mg methlpredisone for 7 days,on day 4 her blood sugar jumped from 140 to 290,what the heck ??? Im guessing this is due to insulin resistance?????,,,shes been on metforman for 5 months now but its not working,shes thin & eats healthy,whats ypu opinion ,thanx a bunch
Wow, that's a big jump. But it can definitely happen. Prednisone affects blood sugar, and the class of drugs is even named after this side effect (glucocorticoid). Definitely discuss this with her doctor.
@PrednisonePharmacist well that's a big problem her doctor did not mention or advise her to keep a check on her blood sugar even though she knew was diabetic, she started complaining of a sweet taste in her mouth it was then we checked her blood sugar do high ,So checking with this doctor is a bit useless
Hi, Doctor I took prednisone for Sciatica leg pain and this pill is killing me. Been taking it for a week and still have side effects. How long the side effects will last? Btw I just sub your channel! Thank you 🙏
Thank you, Dr., I’m taking 10 mg of prednisone each day for my COPD. Can you comment on that? I have about 10 days left out of my 30 days of prednisone, I just think I need another 30 days, because I do believe it helps me.

I was recently diagnosed with Giant Cell arteritis, been on Prednisone for 2 weeks now..started at 80ml and now am taking 20ml per day. I might have to take it for over a year. So far I have a lot of energy, have stopped limping from my degenerative osteoarthritis in my foot and have not gained weight yet. I'm scared to death of this drug, it feels horrible most of the day, and I do not want to get fat! If I watch every calorie and exercise and eat the best foods, is it still INEVITABLE that I will gain weight? What about diuretics? I would appreciate any helpful information please. I'm very worried
Hi! You can watch and read this article that I made about "How to eat the nutrients you need - Stop the Prednisone weight gain" here: prednisonepharmacist.com/weight-gain/how-to-eat-the-nutrients-you-need/
I also have GCA. Started on 40mg and have now tapered to 10 over 7 months. I am also on Actemra. I did not put on any weight until I dropped to 10mg. Now the weight is coming on quickly :(. Is this because of Adrenal fatigue? I have also been taking your supplements. Thank you
5 mg deltacortril and it is life long usage with panto 40 medicine. The diet is ok and everything is ok. Can you please say life long usage the side effects comes or not
doctor i was prescribed prednisolone for 6 days I took 20mg on Sunday 40mg on Monday and Tuesday and 20mg on Wednesday and stopped .... how long will i take to recover as my doctor did not tell me anything before giving the medicine and now I don't feel like myself anymore.. pls guide me on how long will it take to recover
Hi Dr. Megan, It's been almost a month since i've tapered off prednisone (40 mg). I still feel weakness in my legs and arms, as well as general fatigue. Most online forums state prednisone withdrawal is two weeks max. Is this accurate in your experience?
Hi! Dr. Megan created a whole video to answer your question! You can browse to this blog and find your answer: prednisonepharmacist.com/side-effects-solutions/prednisone-withdrawal-dangerous/ - Dr. Megan's Assistant
I felt that too like when I would bend down or squat low and like knee movements but it went away in a few months give it time. But that’s my experience
@@lovelynxo54 I appreciate your response- thank you! I was instructed to decrease my 5 MG every seven days. Anxious to be off this medicine, my doctor gave me the approval to wean off every 5 days instead. In hindsight, this might have been too soon and I the pain was likely a withdrawal symptom.
My son really feels like he is losing his mind on this drug. How do you know when you need to stop taking the drug and what happens if you have a side effect in the middle of the course of treatment? I guess you still have to taper, even though you are having a horrible side effect?
Still probably need to taper but if it’s a mental health emergency, they often choose to taper quickly. It’s definitely up to the doctors. If he’s suffering that badly, he should let them know or get a second opinion.
Here is what is bad about this drug you will do well to listen to this dr because it is exactly like she is saying at first yes super person and feeling so good how can this be such a bad drug and than.......yep she right so i wish i would have watched this before I ever took the first one.
What about suppressing your immune system. I am on 40 mg of prednisone for five days for an allergic reaction to a rash. I work with the public And I’m worried about going to work with a suppressed immune system
Can you please make a video about prednisone induced psychosis? It is something I experienced several times at high doses of prednisone. Why does it happen? I hear suicide rates for people taking prednisone is quite high especially for those on high dose of prednisone.
I’ve got one! It’s the interview I did with an author of a book about someone who suffered so much from prednisone induced psychosis that it stole his whole summer! Hence the name.. Steroids Stole My Summer.
1mg each day of prednisone no side effects whatever, infact if you have other medicines to take, you can take a 1mg prednisone pill every other day so that you can fit your other medicines in that you have to take, 1mg of prednisone is the only best way to go without having to worry about bad side effects the higher the dose of course crazy thing's are going to happen to you, I'd rather stay on safe ground with 1mg prednisone it still slowly takes down inflammation .
Prednisone is worse then street drugs my experience was horrible with Prednisone it almost killed me no one should be aloud to give Prednisone to anyone
It is odd how it can be so life changing for some and horrible for others. I have an uncle who was on it and had to retire. He could not mentally fulfil his duties.
For me, food tastes better. And I do mean really good. Makes portion control important. But, I eliminated all processed foods and sugars as best I can while also limit eating out.
Ive taken it for nearly 40 years. It was a God send when I was a kid with asthma. Oddly I had zero side effects at all, ever
Are you serious?? Can you tell me more? Plz
1mg prednisone no side effects it's the only way to go, it still slowly takes inflammation down, the higher the dose of course it's going to do crazy bad side effects,
This really is the best information about this drug that’s been delivered to me in any form - from my doctor, pharmacist, and the packet stapled to the RX. Thank you so much for making these excellent videos. Anyone even taking a small / short dose of Prednisone should watch this video series. 🙌

I was recently diagnosed with Giant Cell arteritis, been on Prednisone for 2 weeks now..started at 80ml and now am taking 20ml per day. I might have to take it for over a year.
So far I have a lot of energy, have stopped limping from my degenerative osteoarthritis in my foot and have not gained weight yet. I'm scared to death of this drug, it feels horrible most of the day, and I do not want to get fat! If I watch every calorie and exercise and eat the best foods, is it still INEVITABLE that I will gain weight? What about diuretics?
I would appreciate any helpful information please. I'm very worried
Hi! You can watch and read this article that I made about "How to eat the nutrients you need - Stop the Prednisone weight gain" here: prednisonepharmacist.com/weight-gain/how-to-eat-the-nutrients-you-need/
@@PrednisonePharmacist thank you
for the last few months i've been taking berberine. it's a very good appetite suppressant
I also have GCA. Started on 40mg and have now tapered to 10 over 7 months. I am also on Actemra. I did not put on any weight until I dropped to 10mg. Now the weight is coming on quickly :(. Is this because of Adrenal fatigue? I have also been taking your supplements. Thank you
5 mg deltacortril and it is life long usage with panto 40 medicine. The diet is ok and everything is ok. Can you please say life long usage the side effects comes or not
Everyone is different in whether and how bad the side effects will be and when. Hopefully you'll be fine at that relatively lower dose.
@@PrednisonePharmacist Thanks for it Mrs. Dr.Megan
doctor i was prescribed prednisolone for 6 days I took 20mg on Sunday 40mg on Monday and Tuesday and 20mg on Wednesday and stopped .... how long will i take to recover as my doctor did not tell me anything before giving the medicine and now I don't feel like myself anymore.. pls guide me on how long will it take to recover
How are you now?
How long did it take you to recover?
@@oscarcontreras7355 thanks for asking:)
Hi Dr. Megan, It's been almost a month since i've tapered off prednisone (40 mg). I still feel weakness in my legs and arms, as well as general fatigue. Most online forums state prednisone withdrawal is two weeks max. Is this accurate in your experience?
Hi! Dr. Megan created a whole video to answer your question! You can browse to this blog and find your answer: prednisonepharmacist.com/side-effects-solutions/prednisone-withdrawal-dangerous/ - Dr. Megan's Assistant
thank you! I appreciate your response @@PrednisonePharmacist
I felt that too like when I would bend down or squat low and like knee movements but it went away in a few months give it time. But that’s my experience
@@lovelynxo54 I appreciate your response- thank you! I was instructed to decrease my 5 MG every seven days. Anxious to be off this medicine, my doctor gave me the approval to wean off every 5 days instead. In hindsight, this might have been too soon and I the pain was likely a withdrawal symptom.
@@JessicaLevy-q1w yes your probably right
I have been taking 20 mgs of Prednisone daily since July 2023. I still don't see any benefits. I am doing something wrong? TIA
Wow. That’s a long time with no benefits! If I were you, I’d ask my doctor what to expect and when you would go off.
No side effects for me went from 60 to 1 mg done now. One month
My son really feels like he is losing his mind on this drug. How do you know when you need to stop taking the drug and what happens if you have a side effect in the middle of the course of treatment? I guess you still have to taper, even though you are having a horrible side effect?
Still probably need to taper but if it’s a mental health emergency, they often choose to taper quickly. It’s definitely up to the doctors. If he’s suffering that badly, he should let them know or get a second opinion.
Here is what is bad about this drug you will do well to listen to this dr because it is exactly like she is saying at first yes super person and feeling so good how can this be such a bad drug and than.......yep she right so i wish i would have watched this before I ever took the first one.
Thank you!
What about suppressing your immune system. I am on 40 mg of prednisone for five days for an allergic reaction to a rash. I work with the public And I’m worried about going to work with a suppressed immune system
Great question! Here’s my article about that: prednisonepharmacist.com/education/prednisone-when-will-my-immune-system-recover/
in how many days did you recover from the side effects?
Can you please make a video about prednisone induced psychosis? It is something I experienced several times at high doses of prednisone. Why does it happen? I hear suicide rates for people taking prednisone is quite high especially for those on high dose of prednisone.
I’ve got one! It’s the interview I did with an author of a book about someone who suffered so much from prednisone induced psychosis that it stole his whole summer! Hence the name.. Steroids Stole My Summer.

😊 I'm so glad I decided not to take it😊
After one day can i stop i took 40Mg???
I just got the 50mg for my MS I am scared to take it
If I took 20mg one day can I just stop?
yes.
1mg each day of prednisone no side effects whatever, infact if you have other medicines to take, you can take a 1mg prednisone pill every other day so that you can fit your other medicines in that you have to take, 1mg of prednisone is the only best way to go without having to worry about bad side effects the higher the dose of course crazy thing's are going to happen to you, I'd rather stay on safe ground with 1mg prednisone it still slowly takes down inflammation .
First day on it and feel very lethargic
I’m sorry to hear that. Everyone is different!
I get hiccups every time after shot or pills. I hate it.
Dr. megan, do you still have the tablets available?
Yes! Nutranize Zone is available at Nutranize.com
Prednisone is worse then street drugs my experience was horrible with Prednisone it almost killed me no one should be aloud to give Prednisone to anyone
how are you now?
I agree Prednisone is the worst drug 💯
It is odd how it can be so life changing for some and horrible for others. I have an uncle who was on it and had to retire. He could not mentally fulfil his duties.
Prednisone is the mistake! Got prescribed 60mg for 7 days for an earache. Earache is gone…prednisone side effects stayed. Terrible!
is it still there or have you recovered?
Have you recovered?
I would do meth before this shit again. What a horrible drug
Weight gain comes from it making you feel lazy. People just want to sit around and eat.
For me, food tastes better. And I do mean really good. Makes portion control important. But, I eliminated all processed foods and sugars as best I can while also limit eating out.
I feel like death
Oh no! Definitely let your doctor know. You might need more prednisone or something if you’re in withdrawals.
hi did you recover from it
@@sylvesterkane5991 still having issues with fatigue pain weight
Sounds like Norco withdrawal
Similar, right?
Good god! Why would I take this crap?
U am on it for a week for extreme neck pain. Day 2 I am feeling very odd.
have you recovered from the side effects?
