User Reviews for methylprednisolone oral

This medication has made me very irritable and emotional. I am not able to sleep. For 3 days now, I feel as if I have drank a six pack of energy drinks. I am ready to jump out of my skin. I lack the ability to concentrate. I still have 3 days left to go. I will finish my dose but I will not take this medication again nor would I ever recommend it to anyone else. I feel that I should have been warned about these side effects. The 1 positive, I can now breath through my nose.

Have arthritic and compressed lower vertebrae with nerve aggravation. Prepared for the worst; got the best. Pain gone. Walking better. Sleeping better. Like magic.

I am on Meloxicam (NSAID) for an inflamed tendon in my foot. It suddenly got worse, so my podiatrist subscribed the 6 day pack of Methylprednisolone. The first day, I took 3 pills at lunch time and 3 pills at night (first day option). It felt like my heart was racing. The second day, (yesterday), my body decided it was done taking pills, so I had to coat them with chocolate pudding. I had really bad heartburn last night. I was sweating a lot, too, but I also have early menopause, so hot flashes at night are nothing new. Tonight, I will be adding Pepcid AC to my nighttime pills. And more chocolate pudding or yogurt.Read More Read Less

Have Cervical Neck herniations c5,6,7. Am a severely anxious human/female. Rx 4mg medrol Pack. I took it exactly as it was prescribed. The key: Every A.M. before breakfast took Pepcid (prevention) wait 30 min then take 1st dose. Wait 30 min eat breakfast. The key: drink lots of water. 8 glass/day. after dinner took tab. Then 1 hour later about 7 or 8 pm took 1mg Ativan to decrease anxiety & slow heart rate. Then I took 1st tab before bed about 9pm then @ 10 pm took 1 5mg flexeril then at 11 pm the next Methylprenisolone tablet. * The key: Take the bedtime dose 2 hrs apart. This helps to significantly reduce insomnia. I must say this experience was positive for me. I was actually relaxed and thank goodness pain gone. Read More Read Less

I had bad shoulder (left) pain for days. Finally went to the doctor and was prescribed methylprednisolone pills. I felt better within a few hours. I was able to move my shoulder/ arm and had totally forgot about the pain.

It was not that bad on 1st day only sweating but 2nd day i have severe acid reflexes, farting, burping, bloating and abdominal pain.it is night and i am so scared. I have history of h pilori.can anyone help me? is this medicine will affect or activate h pilori bacteria again? I don't know what to do. Hopefully 3rd day will be better and will talk to my doctor tomorrow. Also eye pain, back pain and right lower side is hurting????.Read More Read Less

On my third day of taking the 6 days package. Just perfect enough for me. Had both tennis elbow and golfer's elbow at the same time. Was very painful...Now, about %80 better. Three more days to go.

This is the second time in 5 years I have used this steroid. First was a biffed knee when running. And now a wrist injury ( my massive dog yanked on the leash in excitement to go for a walk and I held on without letting go ) anyways after 2 months of that "pop" and only getting marginally better I decided to get it looked at. After the first day I just realized I had no or very little pain and ( swelling reduction is my guess ). No real side effects yet with the exception of maybe being a bit irritable ( not out side the realm of normal I suppose :) ) and maybe my lungs feeling a it tighter on my run ( it was also 99f outside though. But honestly I was just trying to listen to my body for anything out of the norm. So overall yes this was/is extremely helpful. ( Both times ). Read More Read Less

This is the second time I have taken this - with no side effects. Helped with the pain in my shoulder immensely. Finally slept unbelievably. Would definitely recommend.

I was prescribed this due to fluid in my ear and an inflammed inner ear. No pain, but needed to reduce the fluid. I was scared of all the side effects, but I am on day 2 and have had none so far. I even slept just fine. First day I was actually quite drowsy, but otherwise no issues. Still TBD on the ear issue, but I cannot feel the fluid currently and am hoping it will heal. Don't be afraid of the side effects, remember most people leave a review if they had a bad experience and those who made off fine probably don't even think about it!Read More Read Less

very bad experience with this drug, i have a knee problem Patellofemoral pain syndrome, the amount of side effect that i had from using it is behind imagination: Headache, nausea , depression, confusion, restlessness, Anxiety, eye pain, urinating real often( like every 15 minutes) that i was actually start to feel pain during urination, Irregular heart rhythm( very fast), and more... i took the first day six peels , one in the morning on the day after and i quit that was enough for me i could not bear it anymore, it's felt like a poison to me and even didn't solve my knee problem, to my surprise some of the side effects last for almost a year after i stop taking it. but thank god i think it's over by now. it was awful and i wish i knew better before i took it. i think that if its not a life threatening condition there is no way that i'm using it in the future!!!! and i wish they will find some substitute for this asap Read More Read Less

I take daily Prednisone since 2005for my SLE with no problems at all. I take Methprednisone 6 day back when I have infection I am not beating very fast or if my migraines just keep coming with vomitting and I want to calm the inflammation by a temporary switch up. I do after years of the Lupus, sometimes ask for a second 6 day pac. Effective, use to be by day one and two but now takes 3 to 5. I had no side effects except , what is expected , tiredness, well my body adjust back to my daily low dose of Prednisone. Good Medication for SLE. Read More Read Less

I took methylprednisolone for a very severe asthma attack and ,for me, this was a miracle drug. It stopped the asthma attack, eliminated the tightness and pressure in my chest and, as a bonus, it relieved the aches and pains in my whole body. I felt 15 years younger while I was taking it! I took the 6 day descending dosage pack and would definitely take it again if I needed to.

I have pulled a lower back muscle about 1-2 per year. This is the only way I can get rid of the pain and swelling while it heals. I take 4mg starting with 6 per day and then decreasing 1 less pill each day. This treatment takes 6 days to complete but by then my pain and swelling is under control

Have tendinitis of knees and ankles; was prescribed this to try to help but caused increased pain from joints. Contacted dr and was told to stop taking it.

I have chronic inflammation, having psoriatic arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. I receive this medication periodically in dosepak form to calm flare-ups. I tolerate the drug very well and it works as intended to get things under control.

I was prescribed this medication for a bad cold and cough and after the first 3 pills I noticed a slight headache. Took some advil, but the headache didn't go away. Asked my PCP to change the prescription.

allergic dermatitis of eyes then methylprednisolone helps the eyes but makes skin prone to infection seborrheic dermatitis and impetigo arise ;dermatologist dr Taylor treated with ketoconazole and bactrium now in scaling phase as skin is healing; worse experience i had in my life; beware to take this medicine it cost me so much plus the pain and trauma i experience never again will i take this ;biggest regret to take this pill;

Was given this for a second time, last was 7 yrs. prior and when the Doc. prescribed this again, I told him that I saw no help from the first time he gave it to me, but we did it again. On the second day, while driving, my vision suddenly started going into that "dream" scape thing like on TV when they have a flashback, just not as severe. I was dizzy, and had to pull off the road and let it pass. After a few minutes I felt better, but not 100% as I know had a headache, upper chest felt funny. Was thinking I was having a stroke. Remberbing these pills did nothing for me the first time I quit the rest of the pack.. I almost did not take the pills to begin with as my back pain had mostly passed when I picked up the prescription, so I feel no harm in not taking the rest......Good luck if you get this one.

I am a healthy 74 year old male. I took the first day's dosage. I woke up at 2:00 AM with the sweats. Within a few minutes I passed out cold. I was able to regain conciousness after 1-2 minutes only to nearly pass out again. I had severe heart palpitaions, sweats, nausea and dizziness. This is a powerful drug with severe possible side affects.
