A member asked:
I took a 2 week course of prednisone and never felt better. i know it's not good to take regularly but can i do the 2 week course 2-3 times a year?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: This medication should only be taken under a physician's supervision. This is not a medication to make someone "feel better" and should not be taken just to feel good.
