I took the 4 mg six day dose of methylprednisolone. i had sleepless on day 3. will i have long term effects or when will i be able to sleep again?

Sleepless: Common for a steroid to cause a degree of insomnia. The medicine should wash out in a few days and you should return to a good night sleep. If this does not improve in a week, you should notify your provider.
