"I started to take this med in April as part of my chemo treatment. I was told that it would give me a lot of energy. I have been very active before taking this med. Now I am always tired, my voice goes and comes, and I have insomnia. I need to rest constantly while I do my house chores. My husband says I am not the same. I will speak to my oncologist on my next visit. Just be careful and consult with your doctor. This med has many uses. I am taking it to kill cancer cells together with Revlimid, a cancer med."

"Initially was taking ten 4 mg once a week. Also on Revlimid and a chemo shot once a week. Could hardly stand and walk. Finally told Dr. I was ready to quit it all and just let it take its course, at which point he told me to stop the dexamethasone. Felt better within 24 hours. Six weeks later, he put me back on 3, 4 mg, once a week. Day 4 each week, I start feeling almost good again, but the weakness and fatigue resume the day I take it. Also, an overall feeling of just feeling bad. Don't know how much longer I'm willing to do this. Medically, it's working, but wonder each time if it's really worth it."

"Don't like this medicine at all. My doctor told me to take ten 4-milligram tabs every Wednesday. I can't sleep, swollen neck and face, tingling and swelling in the feet, shortness of breath ...and lots more. I'm not taking this medication anymore."
