Does Anyone Else Have A Problem With Nausea While Taking Predisone

I was recently diagnosed with RA and put on a 30 day regimen of prednisone. I am finding that I am nauseated after taking it. Does anyone else have this problem?

Answer 1

Hi, and in addition to splitting the dosage sometimes the Meds taken at night help you"sleep" through the nauseous feeling.

Answer 2

It might not be a coincidence. People react differently to medications. I'd eat a meal a half hour before I took it. If that doesn't work, you'll most likely feel much better when you get below 8 or 9 mg. If you still feel sick, ask your doctor about split dosing.

I hope your body adjusts sooner rather than later. Best wishes! @A myRAteam Member

Answer 3

I never got nauseous from it but after about day 3 I will eat anything not nailed down. Like, I will steal candy from a baby or a honeybun from your grandma. I also seem to give up sleep after about day 3 and become this super energetic frenetic beast. My friends and family prefer that I stay off prednisone.
