"I took this for one day only and experienced far worse symptoms. My heart was racing the entire night; I felt like I was having a heart attack. I had severe anxiety, I was sweaty, yet had the chills. I slept maybe 1 hour the entire night and tossed and turned hundreds of times. I felt sick to my stomach with overbearing nausea. I experienced abdominal pain the next day. I am discontinuing taking this. I would not recommend it to anyone."

I cannot sleep due to the leg pain. I will never take this medicine again unless it is for life saving measures."

"Pros: day one I was able to breathe again and the drainage / stuffiness went away. Added bonus is some recurring acne on the back of my head went away. Cons: severe abdominal pain, sweating, and racing heart. I slept maybe 30 minutes that night."

"I was diagnosed with extreme allergies. I had thick mucus stuck in my throat for days, and now water build-up in my ears causing vertigo issues; three various medications (Benadryl, Flonase, Zyrtec) weren't helping me. I was prescribed Medrol Dosepak so my body would stop overreacting to itself and get under control. After the first dose, I was feeling great. I also have extreme anxiety, but had ABSOLUTELY no issues on this medication. I think either it just didn't affect me like others. So, if you also have an anxiety disorder, STILL try it. Don't let yourself get worked up over a 'what if'. I had no sleeping issues at all. No stomach upsets. No headaches. Nothing-- just felt relief. I will use it again in a heartbeat, should my allergies ever struggle again to be in control."
