betamethasone-prednisone

[marilina]

since 4 days my daughter is taking corticosteroids

she is taking betamethasone (Bentelan) not prednisone and I must say that there are no GI side effects, but has at times during the day some mood swings.

the "steroid burst" is for 5 days. I must say that the dosage is low compared to what I read here on the forum. on the basis of the conversion table

http://www.globalrph.com/steroid.cgi

1 mg betamethasone match 8.33 mg prednisone, and I think is low dosage (18 yearas old)

But I must say that except for the second day when things seemed to worsen, the first, third and fourth day, things are going better. eye tics disapperead, reduced the rituals during the day, but especially when she goes to sleep, goes to sleep and stop stay awake doing everything.....

we continue for another week, low dosage....

[marilina]

some of you have used betamethasone?

[marilina]

the second day of betamethasone things started to improve a lot

tics disappeared, in the evening after 10 minutes he falls asleep, during the day we can live an almost normal life

she is on betamethasone since 10 yays: since three days we had to reduce, stop slowly , and already things are getting worse again. especially the sleep and again separation anxiety ...." by manual" I have to expect a further worsening?
