Should I be worried? About these side effects

I had an entyvio infusion yesterday and I've had reactions from it that I'm not sure if I should be worried about or not. I called my doctors office and he still wants me to take it but I'm so scared. Last night I felt really nauseous so I went to sleep earlier than I normally do, and woke up after 2 hours because I had the urge to vomit. I vomited 4-5 times from 1 am- 7 am. Had extreme back pain, I was sweating a lot and felt hot the whole night. I'm still having some stomach pains and it's hard to eat now. My doctor said to just take a zofran and benadryl next infusion but I'm afraid because I never had these things happen to me when I took remicade (which didn't help) and simponi (helped very little) has anyone taking entyvio had anything similar? All advice would be appreciated.

Are you on steroids or were you premeditated with steroids?
Were you on them recently?

What medications have you been on lately?

I am on 30 mg of prednisone as of now and tapering 10 mg every 1 week. Doctor wanted to do it by 20 mg and I told him I can't handle that because I know how my body reacts to it.
I am taking
30 Mg of prednisone
3 tablets two times a day sulfasalazine
150 mg Zantax 1x per day
1 Mg folic acid cause of the sulfa.

I took steriods before when I was on remicade and I still didn't have anything like this happen to me before.

Yes zantac helps me with the acid. And I'm only going to taper to 20 mg tomorrow, so its not the prednisone that caused this. I've been on 30mg for a week.

you are describing symptoms that many experience on prednisone esp when tapering
I know I got that

anxiety MAY cause some of those symptoms
(do you find the Zantax helps with the acid?)
