I’ve been taking Prednisolone and I have been struggling with the side effects of gaining weight the most, it’s such a big change for me that it’s been affecting my mental health. Has anyone been on Prednisolone and struggled with the side effects of the drug?

Thanks

Sabad.

    Hi I have been through this back in 2010 I was at uni at the time and was on a high dose of prednisone, it’s definitely affected me mentally as my face swelled up and I was very conscious of people looking at me or asking me why I looked like this so I can relate

      Yes it's an unfortunate weight gain med for me. I grateful for the med but the side effects aren't easy.

        It definitely isn’t easy even though it’s a life saver for me which I’m grateful as well but are they ways for you to cope with the side effects or its something uncontrollable for you as well?




        Thanks
