Guest guest Posted May 6, 2002 Report Share Posted May 6, 2002 Good Morning, I have been on prednisone since February for Autoimmune hepatits and have had all of the 'bad " reactions. I started the weaning process 2 weeks ago and now I feel even worse. This week end I developed shortness of breath that is very scary, a hump on my upper back and the depression is just awful. I have put on about 20 pounds from the waist up. Sleep is nul without a pill to help at night. I have the " moon " face, a redness to my face and chest. How long does it take for these symptoms to go away after stopping the prednisone? My family has been very supportive and wonderful and I love them very much for this. The only symptom I had before starting this treatment was fatigue and elevated liver enyzmes found on a physical. I would love any information anyone can give me.
