30 Apr 2012 My doctor prescribed this to me when I had mono, to reduce the swelling in my throat. For the first day or so, it helped. But then I started to be extremely anxious, I started crying for absolutely no reason, I couldn't sleep. So I stopped taking it. I recovered fine without it.

31 Jan 2012 I take prednisone for Giant Cell Arteritis (very rare). Was at 90-100 mgs. for 6 months at beginning of illness 1.5 years ago and started etanercept to enable me to cut down on the dose. I am now at 45 mgs., however I now have diabetes, cataracts, glaucoma, cushingoid syndrome, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, steatohepatitis, myopathy, insomnia, edema, hirsutism, ecchymoses and petechiae, and several other conditions because of the prednisone. BUT, I would die without it so I must continue. I take a total of 14 meds to deal with the side effects. BTW- 40/60 mgs. is a normal starting dose for GCA and most people resolve to a low maintenance dose in 6 months.
