Has anyone ever taken Prednisone? I broke out with an allergic reaction to antibiotics and have been put on this Prednisone, which is a steroid and is helping, but it is making me feel so incredibly funky!! I feel like I've been sucking on a lightning bolt or something. I've talked to my doctor about it, and she says all the side effects I am having are normal with this type of med, but holy cow!! It's like I'm crawling out of my skin or something. She gave me Xanax to help counteract it and today told me to start cutting the dose in half tomorrow. She said it's doing it's job and that if the side effects are this bad then she might want me to get off it a little earlier than planned. But, now I have to be weaned off it. I started it yesterday. I feel so heavy and dizzy and drunk. I also am having some blurred vision and extreme anxiety. It almost feels like being on an all night binger or something. I took the Xanax this morning so it's kind of taken the edge off, but not completely. I'm at work and I can't even get myself to concentrate. I feel like I'm in a tunnel.
Anyone else had to deal with this? Any words of advice on how to cope?
