I took budnesonide for two and a half weeks and had severe side effects. I got insomnia and anxiety, lost 13 lbs ( and I am thin to begin with ) My heart rate and blood pressure soared. The ended up taking me off without weaning and this is a nightmare. 10/20th 0f 22 was last pill. Still have insomnia and my cortisol levels are high. DO NOT GET OFF W/O WEANING. Jackie

Hi thanks for your reply...I have been trying to wean off this drug. One doctor said to wean this way..I had been taking 9 mg..3 capsules and then said to go to six mg ..2 capsules for one week and then one capsule for one week and then off. I went to a conference yesterday for crohns and colitis and I asked one of the doctors and he said his taper dose is a much longer taper. Are you doing better , are you taking a new drug? I think the side effects of these drugs are worse than the actual disease. The cramping , bleeding and loose movements are terrible. I have lost a lot of weight also, and have much fatigue. I just want off of this stuff. Thanks for replying. Kitty2
