Stopping Methlyprednisone

I've only taken 2 tabs of the 6 day pak my doc prescribed. Is it ok to stop now - I really don't want to take it anymore.

Hello, Molly! How are you?

It would be best to double check with your doctor, perhaps they can even prescribe an alternative.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, acne and insomnia.

Is there anything else I can help with?
