Uceris and Entocort same as Pred?

After 6 years of Remicade and two nasty infections, my Dr. has me on Entocort to bridge me over to Entyvio (coming soon). I have found the Entocort to have some of the same side effects as prednisone. Increased appetite, insomnia, mood swings. I can't see myself being on Entocort long term because of these effects. Does anyone else have these issues with it?

Tomorrow is my last Uceris pill (sample). Saw dr yesterday and we both pretty happy with results although i am puffing up a bit. It could combo of steroid enemas as well. Anyway... Getting on budesinide starting tomorrow 2 pills a day for 10 days and then one a day. All other meds stay same but will have to go back to 4 apriso a day because of insurance. I feel good but by no means in remission. So close though!!!!

I am taking it daily, my doctor did mention tapering off when the time comes, and I am not sure what that schedule will look like. I don't know what I will transition to take instead of uceris, but I do know that I don't tolerate lialda well at all. It made me sick beyond belief. It exaggerated my symptoms and I lost about 6 pounds in the one week that I took it. I have a feeling that this will extend to all mesalamines, but my doctor wants to try others… I am not so sure. Right now I don't really have a game plan.
