Already answered?: But will repeat - highly unlikely that Medrol (methylprednisolone) is causing your itching . If you are on a Medrol (methylprednisolone) dospak however, it is unlikely to get a withdrawal problem from such a short term use- a few people do feel tired for a couple of days if they had experienced a stimulant effect from Medrol (methylprednisolone)- more a let-down then a withdrawal.

Not expected: Allergy to oral Medrol (methylprednisolone) is rare if existent at all. Since it takes about 6 hours before noticeable effects can be observed, I question that Medrol (methylprednisolone) is the actual culprit. However if subsequent dosing again leads to itching, then you will need to stop taking it and ask your doctor to provide a substitute.
