Re: Taking Prednisone - CANT SLEEP - HELP!!!!!!
      11/05/03 03:46 PM

Hey Purple:

Am so sorry to hear about this.

Having asthma all of my life, have had to take prednisone off and on. It is indeed a stimulant, so to speak. (although it is natural - hormone). I once had a pharmacist tell me he became "addicted" to pred due to it's stimulant like effects. What a dangerous addiction!!!

When asthma was VERY bad, I had to increase to an extremely large dose. I remember staying up all night wrapping Christmas presents. It was just like SPEED!!

Sorry I don't have any suggestions for sleep - maybe east a lot of sweet carbos before going o bed (I suggest Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls ) - those always do the trick for me.

Purps - let us know how it goes. Does he plan tapering you off the pred?
