My son takes them for asthma ( predisom ? spelling)--- he gained a LOT of weight , couldn't sleep , was hyper
My Brother took them-(predison? spelling ) --- he only took them for 3 days - they thought he had tick disease--- it affected the blood flow to his hips , and since has had to have hip replacement on both hips. This is a VERY rare dose effect but does happen.
Also if you take them for any length of time you have to decrease dosage to come off of them.
