I am just about finished with taking the steroid, dexamethazone, and definately want to be. I don't like the side effects I have experienced while on it. Is the swelling anything I should be worried about or will it go away the longer I stay with the tapering. I have tapered down to .25 mgs. every other day for about 8 days now.........Thanks...........

Based on the research I did the swelling is something to be concerned about. Here's the link to the search I did:

I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.
