Can You Just Stop Taking Methylprednisolone

Updated

yesterday the doctor prescribed methyiprednisolone 4mg for inflamation. The first night I took it I was very ill, severe headache centered in the jaw areas ( migraine sufferer) rushing sound in the ears and unable to sleep. I felt horrible. Is there a way to lessen or wean one off of this horrible drug? i can't do this!!! Geneva

If you have only taken it for one day, I'm sure it's safe to quit. Consult with you doctor, though. I thinks I really depends on why you were prescribed this. As for me.... I will never take it again!!

Those can be normal side effects of this medication, according to FDA reports. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, and fluid retention.

However, they typically go away, shortly after you finish your course of treatment.

And no, if you took the full dose of several pills on the first day, it may not be safe to just stop it suddenly.

What did your doctor advise?
