inflammatory conditions
"ENT prescribed me 1 x 25mg daily for 10 days to treat tinnitus, in case it was caused by a blocked Eustachian tube.  I had a very bad reaction to steroid.  I suffered from severe insomnia, depression and anxiety.  Psychologically, it caused me a lot of pain.  I started tapering off the Prednisolone after 7 days.  My ENT advised to just stop and not taper which concerned me as I was told to definitely taper so I tapered on my own by going down from 25mg -> 12.5mg -> 6.25mg.  I still suffered from the same psychological issues for 10 days afterwards.  Eventually my GP prescribed me Valium.  After taking 1 x 10mg valium, I found I returned to a normal psychological state (no anxiety, no depression and sleeping fine).  Tinnitus was not helped."
