Predisone Toxity???

Due to a pharmacy mishap i have been taking 120mg of prednisone a day for 14 days. I was only supposed to be taking 60mg. I have sharp pain in chest, neck, and jaw when trying to move around. I get extremely short of breath and it hurts to breath. I have developed some sores in my mouth and on my genitalia. I am extremely tired and weak. What could this be?

Yes, you need to go back to your doctor right away.  And stop the prednisone.

What were you taking the prednisone for?  Did your symptoms get better or worse with the prednisone?  This is also a good conversation to have with your doctor.

You better get some help immediately.  Prednisone is a steriod, and nothing to play with.  That is way too much mgs. to be taking, that's why you are having a reaction.
