A member asked:

Does prednisone give you the shakes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No : It is not clear what type of shaking you are talking about. Is it hands, whole body or some other body part. It does not cause shaking of any of above. Some patients do complain of mood change while taking prednisone.
