Took 5 days of prednisone, could these be side effects

[Jay]

my doctor started me on 5 days of prednisone (2 pills a day) for asthma. i took all of my doses and my last one was on monday march 30th (one week ago). I was fine that whole time, Now after discontinuing the use Im feeling very nauseous, dizzy, weak, tired (ive been sleeping for about 10 hours a day), and i have diarrhea , This started roughly last wednesday, could this be from the prednisone? If so how much longer until these side effects start to subside?

did they not taper you down? yes, those are side effects. you may also sweat pools! and not just regular sweat...really stinky, throw away your pillows stinky!

they shouldnt last too much longer. Drink TONS of water to try and flush your system. If you are still having problems after this Wed. go to your doc.

I HATE STEROIDS!!

agreed with the answer above...Didn't taper you off predinsone?

I also get a bad rash on my chest after I finish prednisone.

Good luck and great health to you...
