Prednisone 20mg For Allergies

I was prescribed 20 mg of prednisone for my allergies. This is my first day with the pill because yesterday I got a steroid shot . But since yesterday I can't sleep and my stomach hurts. I need to take this because I can't take any antihistamine because I'm going to be tested for allergy. But I feel table ! I feel my right hand week and pressure in my chest. Can I take the pill every other day and take half prescribed? Cut the 20mg in half and take 10mg? Because it says for 5 days.

Hello, Cristy! How are you?

Those can be normal side effects of this medication, which the FDA classifies as a steroid. Other side effects may possibly include acne, weight changes and nervousness.

However, you shouldn't adjust your dosing, unless your doctor approves.

When will you be having the allergy testing?
