Besides the long-term effects of Extacy on people, there is also the everyday danger of dehydration and over heating when taking Extacy. Extacy is usually taken at raves or parties, and people dance the whole night when they take them. By itself, the drug already has dehydrating substances, and dancing makes the body loose even more fluids. Most deaths that have happened have occurred due to dehydration and heat stroke. When the body starts to overheat, small clots start to appear in the bloodstream. This causes brain tissue in the body and the brain to bleed. This bleeding can cause comas and heat-stroke's. The need to drink around a pint of water or energy drinks every hour is vital for those users who are dancing. Alcohol is a bad choice in drink, because it dehydrates the body too. Also, excessive drinking can lead to water intoxication, which is a problem within itself, and can also cause the brain to swell which may lead to comas. Water isn't some sort of remedy for curing Extacy, but only helps fight off the dehydrating qualities that the drug contains. Eating salty snacks is also a good idea. Also, taking a break from the dancing is recommended for the heart to give itself a break. For the body to recover from Extacy, lots of Vitamin C and Calcium are needed.

I took it for six weeks when I had a very severe, widespread poison ivy outbreak. I got somewhat paranoid and had wild mood swings but it greatly reduced the intense itching, burning and swelling that I was experiencing. It has to be gradually tapered off tho so your body will start producing again the hormones that prednisone replaces.

It may makes many problems on the long run.
One of these is to suppress the endogenous formation of corticosteroids. In other words, your own body slowly come to stop producing its normal secretion of that hormone. So never stop taking it abruptly. Always follow your physician advice.
Prednisone may produce oedema(swelling) in some parts of the body, notably in the face.

My neighbor has been on if for a very, very long time for her Emphysema. She has become "moon faced" and is suffering some of the other negative aspects of this drug. It is fine short term but if a doctor wants you on it longer than a few weeks, perhaps you need a second opinion.

Good Luck!

yes i took it for about two months, and its a steroid that kept my allergies away....it did make me feel like crap, but i was on a lot of other medications along with it though such as allegra, singular, and a antidepressant (not b/c i was depressed, but the drug helped with allergies)

the doctor had to slowly take me off predisone, i was taking it everyday, then he lowered the dosage, and then i would take it every other day....until i didn't need it anymore...

bad stuff, from what I've heard. Makes your skin very tender and is tough on your heart. You really want to seek professional medical advice about the consequances.

I only took a few pills after LASIK eye surgery. My mom-in-law takes it all of the time, I think. I assume that she still takes it. She has fibromyalgia and Lyme Disease.

It's a steroid and you are only supposed to use it for about a week. It helps with allergies and poison ivy.

yes I have taken it for about 4 years now...I have had a liver transplant, so it is very important to take it, but you probably know that..if you know about the drug.
