Unlikely: A short course of methylprednisolone would not usually lead to withdrawal symptoms. However if you experienced euphoria while on it, you may have a couple of day feeling less energetic after getting off of the drug. What are your symptoms anyway?

Got fluid behind ear drum; not infected; Been about 6 months; The ringing has improved a lot but still there. Think it drained. Can't afford to go back now and know Ent will cost even more, but can Ent see in the Eustachian tubes? What do they do?
