Methylprednisone 4mg Tbpk

Updated

I just started this med today for sciatica. I've taken 5 out of the 6 tablets for today so far. Experiencing fatigue, dizziness, severe muscle cramping in legs and hands, racing heartbeat and feeling totally out of it.

I think the side effects are worse than the pain. Can I just stop taking this without more serious problems?

Please help as I really don't want to take it anymore!

If you've taken that many and your doctor wanted you to taper it, it would be best to continue to do so, unless they instruct otherwise.

Everything you've described can be normal side effects of steroid medications, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience insomnia, nervousness and acne.

How are you feeling, now? Has there been any change?

My doctor told me to stop taking. Feeling better today. Had a therapeutic massage which really helped. Starting physical therapy in5 days. Would rather go this route than suffer those
Side effects.
