"I took prednisone when I went to the doctor for flu-like symptoms (body aches, etc.) and was put on it for 5 days - 60 mg. I had had an allergic reaction to an antibiotic I was taking, so that's also why I was on it. By day 5, I was starting to get very anxious, and from there it just went downhill. I was crying every hour of the day for a week and a half after my last dose. I have anxiety normally, but this was next level, I have never felt that way in my life. And it wasn't like a teary cry, it was literally like someone had murdered my family member cry. I just don't think the anxiety is worth it. I can genuinely say I will never try this drug again. I'd rather die than take it, and I'm not being dramatic. To this day, I'm still trying to get back on track. If you have anxiety/depression, do not take this drug."

"I have been taking prednisolone for 14 years now. As I was diagnosed with autoimmune liver disease at 14, I was on high doses and had moon face and was completely yellow. Through school years, it's not so nice. I had a liver transplant at the age of 18 and continued on a high dose for quite some time. I am now currently on 5 mg a day and no moon face! But I have experienced every side effect on the list. It is horrible to take long term, but it's also saved my life. I am covered in bruises all the time, my bones are quite weak and I have had falls resulting in fractures, the moods are up and down all the time, and I have fluid in my feet and legs that do affect my day to day. Overall, it's not very nice, but pushing through all the side effects, it's good to still be alive at 27."

"I took prednisone when I had Bell's palsy at a dose of 60 mg. I had side effects, but the way I see it, you put up with the side effects because of the benefits of the medication. Now I've been given them again for sarcoidosis, which affects my eyes: uveitis, glaucoma. I'm taking 40 mg for 7 days, then reducing to 30 mg for 7 days, and so on. I don't like taking them, but I have to. The eye clinic tried drops but it’s in the back of my eye. So, first day today, I got a headache, etc., but I think I need them to get better. Best wishes."

"Having taken this medicine in combination with other anti-rejection drugs and steroids following a liver transplant, I suffered from severe anger issues. These only subsided once medication was decreased."

"I had been diagnosed with neurosarcoidosis, was put on prednisolone 30 mg daily for a month, and the next 9 months tapered off. I'm off these now, and I have awful fullness in my head and strange sounds which are really affecting me. I hope these go away. Anyone else have this? I'm off preds 8 weeks, feel like these have messed my life up."
