Hello, Courtney! How are you feeling? I'm sorry about the problem you're having.

The FDA classifies this medication as a steroid and it can cause some pretty annoying side effects, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, insomnia, nervousness, headache, acne and weight gain.

Have you consulted your doctor? They may have some idea on how to mitigate these effects, or they can let you know if there is something else going on.

How long is your course of treatment with it?
