Hi. I was prescribed 20mg of prednisone and took 40mg by accident. What should I do? ## Hello, Mariana! How are you?

I've taken prednisone 4 different times and gained at least 20lbs every time (sucks)! My niece took it for around 7 yrs straight and she gained a bunch of weight! I never heard of anyone on it losing weight. It is such a hateful drug, I feel that the benefit was not worth taking it. Good luck if you are. ## It also gave me a cataract at age 33 and I have degenerative disc disease & multiple buldging discs that they also think the prednisone contributed to... ## Yes, prednisone will cause weight loss in some people.
