- As a person who has been on systemic prednisone regimens (sp) of 20 mg to 120mg
- per day at body weights of 140-200 lbs, your symptoms of wild mood swings,
- rapid weight gain (yes, I was the teenager who tried to eat Fort Collins)
- sound very typical. Your reaction to the levels you are on make me think
- that you are particularly sensitive to prednisone.
-
- You have my sympathy, I detest prednisone and will only take it when the poten-
- tial benefits are significant. Best wishes and if your doctor discounts your
- experiences too much you might consider another physician. Please feel free
- to contact me if I can be of further help.
