[quote=Anonymous]was prescribed antibiotics- Z-pack did nothing. Then upper lungs became super raw and painful, coughing upon talking. Less coughing when I don't talk, yet raw even to breathe. Dr doesn't think I have pneumonia. Was prescribed a 6 day tapered dose pack of methylprednilosone. After 1st day of 24 mg total, felt better, then today on 3 rd day, (8 mgs into the 3rd day), back to square one lung pain. Dr said the dose apparently wasn't high enough, so today prescribed 12 days of prednisone, starting at 60 mg for 4 days, and tapering off, 40 for 4 days, then 20 for last 4 days. Does this sound like a very high dose, or necessary, since smaller does pack didn't work? Worried about scary side effects like steroid psychosis, hallucinations, rage, adrenal crashing, etc. Anyone had this high a does for bronchitis or pneumonia with no ill-effects?[/quote]
