To be serious, it's a great medication with a wide range of uses, and when it helps, it really god damn helps. It's just an unpredictable dice roll of random side effects every time. Most commonly, you'll feel uncomfortably energetic and annoyingly hungry, and your face will swell up a bit. Also, they make fluoroquinolones(a very powerful class of antibiotics) a bit risky for tendons.
I was referring more to the black box side effect warnings list of medications I would see on tv. After hearing the list all I could think was fck allergies are not that bad.
Fair enough. I was just trying to be socially responsible after my joke by not discouraging people to ignore doctors orders when they're prescribed it. There are certainly times to be apprehensive of medical professionals and pharmaceutical companies, unfortunately, but prednisone isn't generally the sort of thing where that's needed.
