Looking for friends that are either on Prednisone or have been...

Hello,
I don't post too often, but I have reached a new low in my motivation when I ballooned nearly 40 pounds since started taking Prednisone. I'm just looking for people who might be able to provide some advice on regaining self-control when it comes to food habits while also taking this drug.
I'm able to expand on the topic if I find it relevant.
Thanks for any help :smile:

    Hi...just came off prednisone about 10 days ago. Its a horrific drug. I tried my very best to keep my food under control and continue my workouts and still gained...i'm in the process of trying to lose it and I know it will be slow. For me the rages I would have out of the blue were the absolute worst. Just overall I will do my best to keep my health steady so i never have to take that poison again. good luck to you.

    I am on a short term dose of prednisone, I'm on day 4 of 7 day course. I've already put on 2 pounds... what gives. How fast will I be able to take the weight off once I'm down with this course?
