For Allergic Rhinitis "Pros: Day one, I was able to breathe again, and the drainage/stuffiness went away. An added bonus is some recurring acne on the back of my head went away. Cons: severe abdominal pain, sweating, and racing heart. I slept maybe 30 minutes that night."

For Asthma "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."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I took this for one day only and experienced far worse symptoms. My heart was racing the entire night; I felt like I was having a heart attack. I had severe anxiety; I was sweaty, yet had the chills. I slept maybe 1 hour the entire night and tossed and turned hundreds of times. I felt sick to my stomach with overbearing nausea. I experienced abdominal pain the next day. I am discontinuing taking this. I would not recommend it to anyone."
