Is this normal? I'm on a seven day pack. My resting heart rate is elevated and I feel more anxious. This is my first time taking Prednisone.

Yes, at least in my experience. I don’t know if I would’ve used the term “jacked up” to describe the feeling though.

Yes, it feels kinda like taking pre-workout. Take it early bc it can be hard to fall asleep

I think I can better describe it this way. I feel like I'm slamming Red Bulls. I don't drink coffee and my only daily source of caffeine is black tea in the morning.

Thanks for catching that. Yes, Prednisone not Prenisone.

I hate oral steroids. They make me restless and give me headaches. Sounds like the OP is in for a ride.

When I’ve taken prednisone I have trouble sleeping, but the extra energy is nice. I haven’t taken them while working out. I bet it would give a little boost.

Prednisone gives me trouble. Pushes up my BP and makes my anxiety go sky high. Hate it.

I'm on day 4 and I can't say I thoroughly enjoy it. First night was fine. The last couple of nights I've been able to fall asleep ok but I've woken up and stayed up for a while; I usually can go right back to sleep if I wake up for some reason.

Heart rate is still high. I haven't checked my BP since taking it but I know it's high.
