Because of tinnitus, I was prescribed 5 tablets 50mg in the morning for 3 days, then a decreasing dose.
Just 1 hour after taking the tablets, I experienced circulatory problems close to my heart, but these were bearable. In the evening, however, there was a massive palpitation, so that even in bed the body shook with the heartbeat. I therefore cancelled the treatment. The symptoms then subsided somewhat over the course of the next day.
Gastrointestinal problems
Alternating hunger and disgust
panic attacks
restlessness
Feeling of weakness
Euphoria and depression
Diarrhoea during the day, very strong flatulence at night that keeps you awake. The stomach feels full to bursting with air.
Heartburn was so severe that treatment had to be cancelled
Chronic vascular inflammation, presumably due to 20 years of constant occupational stress, plus frustration eating, too little exercise due to work and a diet that generally favours inflammation in conjunction with high blood pressure, failed kidneys and severe obesity (BMI> 35). High blood pressure, kidney failure and severe obesity (BMI> 35).
For medically necessary intervention now a few days of prednisolone to acutely calm the inflammation.
Already now heartburn, increase in blood pressure, which was actually set, and blood pressure that was previously unremarkable.
After 3 days I could tear out trees, I felt so good. I suddenly had energy and was able to do a lot of things that I otherwise didn’t have the strength for.
Side effects: I gained 20 lbs even though I worked 18 hours a day.
The pain went away immediately! As with a previous treatment for thrombocytopenia, there was a slight forgetfulness which meant that from one moment to the next I didn’t know what I wanted to do.
Head pressure, incontinence, chest pain. Bloated stomach , feeling hungry.
I am now almost halfway through the time since I started taking the medication.
Gained 2kg. Otherwise I’m fine, but we’ll only see when the next x-rays are taken.
Taken due to sinusitis.
1st day 3 x then gradually over a total of 9 days. No side effects in the first few days, later fatigue, weakness, shakiness, sensory overload, depressive mood, “moon face”, partial brain fog.
Summary: reluctantly again.
Despite some severe side effects, the medication is of course indispensable if it is the only salvation. Side effects were severe palpitations as soon as I lay in bed at night, unfortunately I was always awake at 4 o’clock sharp in the morning. In the meantime, however, I slept quite well after I went from 40 mg to 30 mg prednisolone. So I have adapted my sleep rhythm to my everyday life. Otherwise, a short time after taking it in the morning, numb lips, mild to severe restlessness with trembling hands and a ‘nauseous’ feeling in the heart area. Uncomfortable feeling in the stomach area (despite pantoprazole). First two weeks of taking the drug: severe mood swings, very depressed (3 days approx.), brain fog (felt stupid, confused, overstimulated in crowded shops).
