"Hi guys most of you will probably be aware of this but I d like to make those who aren't the effects of stopping prednisolone . I have just had the worst weekend of my life after being on prednisolone for 3 weeks due to a chest infection , I was told by my doctor to take 6 tabs aday the course was for the 3 weeks last week (wed ) I took the last of the tablets ,chest all clear ,great I thought . Thurs started off with a headache , Fri diorhria , headache ,over the weekend i have done nothing but sleep & developed fed blocked all over my arms so this morning I rang docs who promptly gave me more prednisolone as apparently coming of them is a weaning process which I was not informed about & yes a complaint has been made . So please guys be aware I think the con,s far outweigh the pro,s ."
