I got off prednisone 3/14/13 and almost immediately began experiencing coldness in my upper arms, upper legs and sometimes my feet.  I have to wear numerous sweatshirts or jackets during the day.  No matter if the temp. is 70 or 80 degrees.  I also sleep with a heating blanket.  I have become tired and listless almost all the time.  How long after getting off this medication am I going to be like this?  I was find while on it, active, positive feelings and warm - not now.  I am very depressed because of this.  What can I do?  I am a male 52 years old.

Hi,Thanks for using healthcare magic.I have gone through your history.Usually withdrawal symptoms of prednisolone should go by this much of time but in rare cases it may be present.You should rule out depression and anxiety disorder as these symptoms may be present in these disorder.You should also rule out physical causes like thyroid dysfunction, vitamin B12 deficiency.Thanks.
