Methylprednisolone "If you have any breathing issues, this could save your life, I promise! Miracle drug and not a narcotic, so I don't know why they don't prescribe it when it's desperately needed. I will say be cautious of side effects: short term-jittery, long term-bloating-but for a life without oxygen, it's worth it. LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE, GIVE IT A COUPLE DAYS."

"I've been taking the methylprednisolone dose pack 4 mg for three days now. I feel like it's already ruined my life. I had no prior history of anxiety or panic attacks, but I've woken up every day feeling like I'm going to die of a heart attack since I've taken it. I now have unbearable anxiety, panic, and terrifying shortness of breath that is only relieved for brief periods of time by Xanax. I am literally in tears over this as a grown man. I'm afraid to go to sleep. I wouldn't recommend this drug to my worst enemy. Avoid it at all costs."

"Clear as a bell, breathing well. Taking it for asthma, but it appears to be helping my arthritis and IBS symptoms. I have nothing but praise for Medrol Dose Pack, a lifesaver for many. This is the second time I have been prescribed this medication. After day one and the first six pills, there was no wheezing or ringing in my ears, and I didn't need to use my inhaler. I am coughing some, but not enough to complain about. I went to urgent care because my primary care physician wouldn't listen, but an APRN took care of me. I think she saved my life. I have finished my dose pack and I couldn't be happier to be among the living. I know my body, I have lived in it for well over 60 years. I knew I needed the dose pack or prednisone. Only that helps me when symptoms don't stop. If your doctor is not listening and not hearing you, find another one. Thanks and be well."

"I was prescribed a Medrol dose pack for a sinus infection. After taking it for 5 days, I felt worse, my whole body hurt, I couldn't walk very well, and I couldn't be touched without having pain. I told my doctor about it and was advised the steroid wouldn't cause this. I did quit taking it, and it took 3 weeks for me to recover. Believing my doctor, I was once again prescribed the dose pack a few months later. After taking it for 3 days, I once again found my lower back and legs in extreme pain. Of course, I quit taking it immediately and saw a doctor at an immediate care center. They advised me this can happen and wrote it down as an allergy. Needless to say, I won't be taking this again. The pain has resolved for the most part, only hurting if I use my legs for too long, and I still have weakness in my legs when walking. It's only been 3 days since I have quit taking it. I am so glad I listened to my gut this time around. I think it is wonderful that it helps so many people, but Medrol is definitely not for me."

Methylprednisolone "My asthma attack and fever of 102.6 started suddenly on 1/18/2010. I went to my pulmonary doctor on 1/19. I received a Solu-Medrol dosapak. The first day's dose is the heaviest. I took it as directed. I had taken 2 doses on the second day when I developed severe chest pains. I returned to my doctor and was admitted to the hospital for a cardiac work-up. Within 24 hours of tests, I was discharged. I never had any more chest pain after stopping the medicine. I must have developed a sensitivity last May when I had pneumonia for 16 days in the hospital. My body is very sensitive to medicines. I liked Solu-Medrol. Maybe I have to take it with Benadryl. I don't know until I speak with my doctor on my return visit."

Methylprednisolone "This Medrol Dosepak always does the trick in helping with my allergy-induced asthma. The downside is I take Diltiazem, a heart med, to regulate my heart rate, and the steroid makes my heart race."

"They help me breathe and clear my lungs. Nice to have a tablet so small that does so much."
