When I used to take prednisone I not only couldn’t sleep a wink, but I shook like crazy, heart palpitated and I felt horrible. My pulmonologist switched me to methylprednisolone and I didn’t have those issues but it was just as effective. Even though similar meds, he said people tend to tolerate one better than the other — different for each person. He was right! If it’s too late to switch this time, write down the name to try next time you need it. Hope that change works for you too.
