I took two tapers last year and it pulled me out of the terrible pre-diagnosis (from a rheumy) flare...Side effects were restlessness and anxiety attacks, but the 2nd time I was on it, we tapered at 1/2 dose and my doc added an anti-anxiety (I already take an exended relief one) for the really bad days as a quick fix to the panic attack...and that worked well

Always helps; no weight gain
Working / Worked

seems to help me

Anyone Used Methylprednisolone?
