I took the last dose two days ago for sinus. I am on lorazepam .5 mg 1x a day for inner ear dizziness several months. Had more dizziness on the dosepak. Going nuts. How LONG will the Medrol stay in system... been hydrating as much as possible. The lorazepam helps one condition but not the other. Can't take these again! EVER.
After effects of one 4mg Medrol dosepak (duration 6 days... 21 tablets)?

I appreciate your question as I have had the same one. It has been 5 days for me and I am still having trouble with the side effects which is tingly and numbness in arms, hands, legs, feet, neck, and lower back. I will never take this again either. Feels like nerve pain. very disconcerting. But in reading the responses I have peace of mind knowing that it takes long time with many others as well. Few more days I guess.
Wow I thought I was going crazy! Starting on day 4 of the Methylprednisolone 4mg pack I started having the worst headache of my life and DIZZINESS!! I had to stop taking it because it was so horrible and just like you are all saying I have not improved even a little and it’s Thursday! I wish there was antidote to this medication!! Did it really take a whole week to clear the symptoms?! I read 8 days and was so shocked!
Omg I took the medrol pack for an insect bite that got swollen. I’ll never take this again! I want it out of my system! It makes me feel like my blood pressure is up, i’m all tingly and antsy. I can’t sleep. I want to feel normal again I hate this! I took last pill Monday and it’s now sat and I still have the feelings!! my face feels tight.
How long did it take you to get back to normal?
It took me over a week to feel back to normal @kjt2u
I am 49 and I had to take this for an allergic reaction. I'm out of my skin and cannot wait till this gets out of my system.
Took the medrol 4 mg pack and have two more days to go. Today only two tablets-- but I am feeling soooooo tired!
My dreams are bizarre and I am having anxiety.
Just want this feeling to go away and I want to feel normal again. Happy I am not the only one.
