What are the side effects of low dose prednisone? | Sjögren’s Foundation - From Mayo Clinic to your inbox
In your place I would find a different doctor. Good Drs will listen and honor yore needs unless the issue would cost e them their lic. Also as steroids address inflammation has anyone worked with you to see if you have a serious sinus infection or other underlying infections, oddly, these infections that result in underlying inflammation can be the cause of secondary problem that mimic even other problems and go undiagnosed. When you are not able to produce saliva, these senses fade.
I have it and have lost both. Dental problems from loss of saliva too. Vision problems too as I have dry eyes. I also am a long-term sufferer of anosmia. Therefore, I know exactly how you are suffering. Food has no taste and, worst, you cannot smell nature! I have started the experiment for the treatment of my anosmia by taking a long-term low dose of prednisone 5 mg per day for the last two years. I taper off the dose over a week by taking 5 mg every two days for a week and completely stop taking the drug for a few weeks.
The anosmia comes back immediately. I would suffer for a week or two. Then, I started the 5 mg prednisolone every day for a month again. The anosmia is gone within three days of the treatment. It works like a clock. Of course, I take vitamins, do annual medical check-ups with daily exercise and run 2K three times a week. I am lucky to live in Taiwan, so I usually get 5 my prednisolone from a local drugstore with no prescription!
Please take my experiment to treat anosmia with your own discretion. Any open-minded ENT doctor would help you with this treatment protocol. Is prednisolone just a different name for prednisone?
What are the differences? I have taken prednisone and prednisolone. Thank you for your kind response to this post.
Thank you for your advice Ping! I am a sufferer of no smell and allergies. I developed an allergy to Balsam of Peru which is is everything from Soaps to tooth paste! My big trigger is Sodium Benzoate but I am discovering that I am allergic to so many foods too!
I have been a life long tea drinker and drink maybe 10 cups a day of all kinds of varies teas. Last Friday I thought I had poison Ivy because I broke out in a rash of tiny blisters on my neck and face. It has since spread and each day it is worse. I have a reaction to many steroids, high blood pressure and blood sugar. Sometimes the cure is worse then the ailment.
I will try anything at this point! Because I am lost for answers! Your kindness is appreciated! I feel sorry that you have lost your sense of smell and taste, I have Scleroderma and Sjogrens I take Predsolone every day my GP prescribed for me to help with inflammation of my mouth but unfortunately I cannot eat food because Sjogrens destroying my Saliva glands and also losing my teeth I no longer can swallow solid food and live on liquid foods my sense of smell is messed up and everything smells terrible, You just have to live the best you can and keep busy.
Hi Joe, this is an old post, but replying anyway. My experience with pred was because I went blind due to Multiple Sclerosis which I did not know I had. Think it was prescribed by neurologist for 1 month.
High dosage daily, think 40 mg, slowly weaned to 0. My vision returned. I refuse most pharmaceuticals, but it seemed to be necessary.
Have not needed since. Hope you are improving. I too lost smell, hearing and taste, but due to vasculitis. I encourage you to ask your doctor if you have any markers for vasculitis. I was on prednisone, but, alas, no return of taste or smell.
I wish you the best. I have been taking prednisone between 5 and 20 mg up and down for a year because I have dermatitis around my lips and cracked lips. The prednisone causes thrush in my mouth medication has not cleared it up, and in which I have had for a long time. Can thrush in the mouth have long term side effects? Are you taking a Probiotic, particularly if you are on Antibiotics they can also cause Mouth Thrush. I too had the same problem. My primary had me on 40 mg. Daily so I got oral thrush.
My primary give me a couple of meds that didn't work so I went to EMT and they put me on Majic mouthwash. Didn't even have to take the whole bottle.
It comes in a bottle that you keep in the fridge. After I seen my new Rheumatologist she lowered the dose to Never was bothered with oral thrush again.
I had taken Prednisone for over 8 months. Off for about a year but now back on 10 mg. P which is horrible. Plus got 7 compression fractures this past year from early osteoporosis and taking steroids. Good luck. I started a script for Prednisone 10mg. I was only given 15 tabs. How to a stop taking abruptly or cut in half???? Not a problem for you.
You're not taking high dose for a long enough period to worry about tapering. I recently was taking 5 mg of prednisone daily for an RA flare. So I stayed on the prednisone for a month. He then proscribed a weaning off schedule. I need some advice. I have scjogrens and also have cardiac problems long term steroids use is not healthy for your organs I know when I take them I feel great but also know that long term use is not good for you.
I also take them wait a few months then again so its not daily and so often. I have been on pregniselone for a week now. I am taking 20 mg per day. I suddenly feel psychotic scared. Feel like vomiting. Everything looks strange. I took it for severe inflammation following thf pfizer vaccine. How can I come off it asap safely. As last time I took it a month ago I came off it quickly. I tried coming off it 2 days ago and my entire body broke down.
Severe side effects. I gave extreme nausea and psychosis. What do I do? I have haemerriods. I stare into space. If I ate something other than fruit would I feel better? Please help asap.
I only started this yesterday for lung inflammation due to an infection and having Lupus. I took three out of the 6 tabs for the first day which would be 12mg. I felt wired and squirrelly all day like shakey and foggy headed, but still in a good mood and just tried to ignore the weird feelings, because atleast I could breathe more easily atleast.
Everything looked scary to me in my peripheral vision. I felt like a zombie and could barely talk, but heart pounding wildly…. Throughout the day I also had increasing deep pain radiating from my hips, knees, through my entire legs until I could not bear to stand at night. I felt like I was in hell. It gives right side headache and back of head with moderate white mucus discharge. Every time i try decongestant, steam vapour and other antihistamines it gives very slow response. ENT sinus specialist prescribed 25 mg prednisone.
Along with the following: brimonide tartrate. What side effects should I expect? I'm not if I should start low dosage No pain. Elevated eye pressure has been a side effect of Prednisolone for the treatment of uveitis caused by my HLA-B27 gene.
During this time Brimonidine three times per day, Dorzolamide three times per day and Rhopressa before bedtime. I also take mg of Mirtogenol daily. This has worked for keeping my eye pressure in range and my eye calm. Good day. I have been taking Prednisones for almost 2 years now I started with 20mg.
I am now on 5mg for almost 6 months I just need to get off it. Can i stop taking it completely now or do i need to taper to 2. I still have some pain in the back though. I would like to know if there is alternative medication i could use instead of preds pllease?
I have the same problem as you, did anyone response with any good advise? And if so could you please let me know? Thanks Connie. I have ongoing pyaderma gangriosums which keep appearing over my body. I have been on prednisone for the past 2 years off and on anywhere from 75mgs to 5 over this period. I also have COPD and they help considerably with this and help me breath more easily.
I also have issues when not on the prednisone with eating, food is simply repulsive to me and I actually gag at the thought of eating, no matter what the food is. I have lost a considerable amount of weight. My appetite is lagging in between doses and the pyodermas seem to escalate in between doses.
Any suggestions, comments or advice would be greatly appreciated as this has been an ongoing, painful ailment for about 2 years now. I have developed itching all over my body for about one year for which I see dermatologist. He has prescribed me prednisone 10 mg on and off which controls itching very well. If I stop prednisone itching starts. If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as possible.

Ask the Expert: What are the side effects of taking a low dose prednisone every day? It's the only thing that helps with my pain, but I hear it's not a long-term solution?

Click here to learn more about becoming a member. I have been experiencing anosmia for over ten years now. My anosmia symptoms are complete loss of taste and smell. So far nobody has determined a cause nor has anyone showed any interest in anything other than treating symptoms. It hasn't been easy for anyone who experiences this condition.
I have burned many pizzas and other food over the years. I had a ruptured gas tank in my car and can't smell a gas leak or anything but someone smelled it and told me, and the gas tank was replaced. Anyone who knows anything about anosmia knows of the dangers that accompany the complete loss of taste and smell.
The treatment I tested worked perfectly to restore the senses. I am getting pushback from my PCP. My allergist disagrees with my PCP. Just want I don't want on my health care team. I lose confidence. I know, just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not there.
You would think my PCP would be happy for me. He wouldn't even prescribe 3 ea 20mg tablets to restore my sense of taste and smell for Thanksgiving. I have literally begged my PCP to show a little compassion and allow me to continue my experiment with medical supervision but I just get a big NO! Has there been any new studies in this regard? One of the symptoms of covid 19 is of course the loss of taste and smell. I see that when I do an online search about prednisone and anosmia, the results are predominately related to covid That is not my case.
It is True that I have been pursuing an answer to how to restore the taste and smell sensors in this body for many years now. The medical records show these attempts.
I maintain that it is my body and if the low doses of prednisone restore my sense of taste and smell, I am willing to suffer the potential side effects. I just need to find someone who will consider my wishes and not worry about extending my time. I'm going for quality not quantity. I have logged in 64 times around the star that we call the Sun.
If my body had only 20 years on it, I would pursue some other treatment, but at 64 years and not wanting to live anymore in a world that is rapidly disintegrating, I'm willing to opt for a shorter amount of time left here on Earth before my departure date, with my taste and smell sensors intact and fully functional.
I've just started this research so I appreciate all input and any references you can give me as it relates to treating anosmia with low doses of prednisone and any clinical studies to support that. I have had very bad back pain for years. I had surgery and have been seeing a pain management doctor for over 6 years.
I am in Mexico and can get prednisone over the counter very inexpensive. I took 50 mg for two days and I can say I have had no pain. I have read under 30 mg is safe and considered low dose. I will start cutting them in half for 25 mg and see if the pain is relieved.
It has even helped with my rotator cuff pain. My doctor wouldn't be happy I am sure and I have to watch my bone density. I can't believe how much better I feel. I haven't been pain free for about 10 years. I want to go dancing!! Read about physcosis from steroid use. Long term use will give you diabetes and heart disease. I cut down to 5 mg a day. I am trying not to take that. But yes… it is wonderful for the pain.
Just an FYI. Thank you for your honest comment. I was on prednisone for 13 years for Polymialgia Rhumatica now my esr and crp levels are fine and I came off the drug very slowly and was fine for 3 weeks. I experimented Saturday with 5 mgs and I was pain free for around 30 hours, now it is back.
Any advice is welcome please. Every drug has a cost. It is up to you in consultation with your doctor to get he balance right. Low dose Prednisolone has side effects but they are worth it if your pain is controlled. Iam taking Pred. Regiment 16 mg 4 days, 12 mg4 days, 8 mg 4 days, 4 mg 4 days.
I can refill and start the regiment again. How much time in between regiments is safe before starting over? Thank you.
