I've been on 5 mg for almost three years. Reducing from 80 mg about killed me and I stopped at 5 mg because it was the Dr. suggested goal, not because I had issues at a lower dose.
I have had some eye problems, minor muscle cramps & spasms plus the world's worst fatigue. Possible pred related side effects which could be improved by reduction of prednisone. After all this time at 5 mg, I reduced it to 4 mg. In two days I got MASSIVE muscle cramps and spasms. Every muscle in my arms, legs, hands and feet have misbehaved at least a little bit, some muscles have been very bad.
Yesterday I went to the VA emegency room asking for my miracle cure of 375 mg Lorzone. They don't have Lorzone but prescribed 500 mg Methocarbamol. I took one Methocarbamol and almost immediately got the entire list of common side effects. "Drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, stomach upset, nausea/vomiting, or blurred vision" and impaired/confused mental function. I'm already nuts, I don't need pills for that.
Anyone have another solution?
Got any over the counter help for muscle cramps?
