Hello, Trish! How are you?

Prednisone can reduce the efficacy of Methadone, so that likely explains the problem. Is this doctor aware that you're on Methadone?

Other typical side effects of Prednisone may also include nausea, headache, insomnia, irritability and acne.

Methadone is classified as an opiate, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

I take oral methadone for pain management and recently had to take prednisone in a med pack. I took a urinalysis and it showed no methadone. Is this because of the steroid med pack?
