Methylprednisolone for Immunosuppression "My comment is about Solu-Medrol 1000 mg given via IV for 3 days while hospitalized for bilateral pulmonary embolisms. The goal, get my platelets up over 100 so that I can start my blood thinner again. My platelets slowly increased. I noticed an immediate horrible taste in my mouth. The next day, feeling like I had pneumonia. I couldn’t breathe and felt worse than I have ever in my life. The second and third days, nervous, several panic attacks, tachycardia. I had headaches, exhausted. My vision is still blurry after several days. My left eye is droopy. I had 3 chest X-rays, no pneumonia. I have never taken over 60 mg of prednisone. This bronchitis that I feel was a result of the immunosuppressant has really put me down and made me depressed. I’m at home on 60 mg daily, no energy."

For Inflammatory Conditions "All was good when I was taking them, besides a headache. I was, like everyone else, felt young again. I have rheumatoid arthritis. I loved the medicine, until it was done. I've had an opioid problem and had severe withdrawals from it. This is right next to it. I only did a one-week pack: 6, then 5, then 4, so on. I wish I was warned of the aftereffects, I would have NEVER taken them. If I never had to stop, they would be wonderful, but the withdrawals from just one week's use had been awful. It's been 3 days, and I still have a headache, muscle aches, fuzzy head, no energy, and sick to my stomach. I threw up the day after I stopped and have had an upset stomach since. Depression. I'm finally starting to feel a little normal. I will never take them again unless it's life or death."

For Inflammatory Conditions "This makes my face red, makes me jittery, almost like I’m having a panic attack. And I get small headaches in different parts of my head. Try to avoid."

"I’m on the third day of taking this medication. My only side effects are headache and confusion. Other than that, it works great. I can breathe better now."
