Hello ansky,

Prednisone is not a medication that you can or should use on a regular basis. Steroids have short term and long term serious side effects.

Steroids can cause Cataracts, Diabetes, Cushings Disease, Glaucoma, aseptic necrosis (death of bones), Mood swings ('roid' rage, irritability, anxiety), insomnia, overly tired, weight gain/puffiness, Osteoporosis, withdrawal symptoms and much more.

Depending on the reason someone might use steroids it may only be a temporary solution to an on going medical problem.

Steroids are anti-inflammatory and are used for many reasons.
