Q: how do i treat a long term of dexamenthasone withdrawal symptoms especially the awful weight loss?

: I am not sure why you were on dexamethasone, however it is always best to taper such steroids like dexamethasone and very slowly if you should have any problem with rapid tapering. I hope the symptoms are not from the disease rather than the dexamethasone?
