A member asked:
I was prescribed a methylprednisolone prednisone packet for 6 days. after the first dose of 6 pills, i feel horrible. severe insomnia, rapid heartbeat and a flare up of gastritis, is it safe to discontinue the packet after day 1?

Although your reactions are unusual, the significance should not be ignored, and you need to contact your doctor immediately. Your medication should be placed on hold until clarification and understanding of what has occurred is available. It is far safer to stop your pills at this point.
