When I've had oral prednisone, I usually tend to feel a little more...wired? than I do when I have IV steroids.

IV steroids have made me feel a little more tired.

I think I get more insomnia from oral steroids, than I do from IV steroids.

I've never been on steroids, oral or IV, for more than two weeks. Last time I had oral steroids. I think it was a really short taper. Think it started out at four 10 or 20mg's of prednisone for three days. Then it tapered back. (I think that was the dosage. It was probably more than a year ago). Other steroid tapers that I've done started out at 6 pills a day, for three days. Then tapered off. Don't remember the pill dosage for those tho. (probably 10 or 20mg?)


The longest, strongest IVSM that I've had was 1 gram a day IV for...4 or 5 days? For a vision problem. Think that might have been three years ago, so now I'm not exactly sure now how many days it was. I did do the oral taper afterwards.
