Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Should I Go To The ER Or Contact My PCP For Ongoing Dizziness, Jitteriness, And Shaking After Stopping Prednisone?
I am having side effects from a medication I was prescribed. I was prescribed Prednisone 5 days ago, and was told to take 3 pills 3 times a day for 3 days, and then 2 times a day for 3 days, however I started getting dizzy, lightheaded, jittery, and had trouble sleeping. I stopped taking it yesterday, but I am still feeling jittery, dizzy, and shaking. Should I go to the emergency room immediately or contact my PCP next day?
