Re: Re: or anyone in group/prednisone and sleep

Dear Don,

I have only been on it 6 weeks and it's making me crazy! I had taken Prednisone before tx for various things and the results were always the same. No sleep. I think it is because it interferes with REM sleep. I say this because I no sooner fall asleep than I jerk back awake. Right now I am on 5mg per day and hope to stop that next week. I am on it because I had a rejection episode start right before Christmas. I started with 200 mg then 60 mg, etc. It's a horrible med but I was glad to take it as I really like my liver now and don't want to loose it. I just would like to get rid of the fat cheeks.
