I do have expereince with this med. I was perscribed twice to break a nasty cronic cycle. While the dexamethasone did break the cycle, the side effects I experienced were not worth the trade off. I will never take that med again!
A few side effects I expereinced.
* Gained 20 lbs within 30 days
* Roid rage. Do not poke the bear who is on this med.
* Mainia
* I could not smoke or drink enough. Do not go on this med if you had stopped smoking just a month earlier. I started smoking again to prevent homicides.
* Oddly enough, any depression I had disappeared completely. Very strange. When I told my Dr this, his response was to put me on a antidrepressant which did nothing. Note: I did not have this same experience the 2nd time I took dexamethasone.
* If you are prone to infections, be very careful!! That's all I'm gonna say about that.
The above was my experience. YMMV
