Hey y'all

I already made a post describing my particular situation but I thought it might make sense to make this separately.

Does anyone know where I can find any information on *rates* of side effects for prednisone? It's not in the drug information sheet and I've spent hours searching the internet to no avail.

Thanks!
Emily

Equals, I haven't heard of too many people who were on pred for a significant amount of time who didn't have side effects. I can list some for you but it won't tell you a % based on which people experienced which symptoms.
