I have to take a 6 day course if predinsone. i am afraid of side effects. how common is it to have seizure from taking it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Highly unusual: A short course of Prednisone may give you insomnia and heighten your anxiety especially in high doses, it is highly unlikely to cause seizures. Oh yes, it may also increase your appetite.
