Taking Methylprednisolone And Valacyclovir Hcl

I have some white and red patches on my tongue. Doctor prescribed me Methylprednisolone 4mg and first day should take 6 tablets and i should gradually decrease one tablet. And also he gave Valacyclovir HCL 1gm 3 times a day. I started taking this medicine and i took it for one day and next day one tablet, i am felling so depressed and i am feeling tensed and little heavy heart beat than usual. Now i am not feeling like to take that medicine. After a small research i got to know that steroids are not good for health. it even effects immune system. And I am just 25. I don't want to add some more problems for my future. Please help me in some way. Is it okay if i stop taking this medicine suddenly.

What diagnosis did your doctor provide?

Valacyclovir is usually used to treat, or prevent outbreaks of genital herpes, it is an antiviral medication. The FDA does list depression, tension, palpitations, and skin dryness, as possible side effects.

The FDA lists the side effects of Methylprednisolone as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, acne, fluid retention, rapid heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and weight changes.

It would be best to continue taking the medication as prescribed, but if you are not comfortable doing so, you should talk to your doctor, it might be best for you to try a different corticosteroid.
