When Will Side Effects Of Methylprednisolone Dose Pack Go Aw (Top voted first)

I ended up at the ER thinking I was having a heart attack. So I didn't take the last two pills. It has now been a full week after my last dose, and I am still struggling with insomnia, nausea, dizziness, muscle weakness, loss of appetite, heart pounding and high bp. I feel better in the evenings, but then it starts over in the mornings. Does anyone know how much longer these side effects will last? Does anyone have a similar story?

Ran the full gambit of tests.. I won't get results until 1 1/2 weeks. Even though my nausea is getting better, and I'm now having more nights of decent sleep, I am worried about these heart issue. I really hope these will start getting better... I was healthy and active before I started the pack.

I'm two weeks past the last dose, and I still have anxiety, nausea/weakness, fast heart beat and trouble sleeping. Can anyone help me get an idea how much longer this will go on?
I've been to my Dr twice, and going to a cardiologist tomorrow, all because of this awful methylprednisolone pack.

Usually it takes about 2 weeks for the side effects to taper off and then go away, entirely, according to the NIH and you haven't listed anything unusual among the ones you experienced.

However, this is a steroid class medication, so it does carry some risks, thus given the fact that you've been off of it for 2 weeks and are still experiencing them, I think seeing a cardiologist is a good idea, just to be safe.

Have you consulted them, yet?

What have they advised?
