You can drink alcohol in moderate amounts.  If you overdo it, it can cause stomach problems.\n-MM

I've been on some pretty heavy doses of steroids in the past, the toughest part is preventing yourself from eating everything in the house!  Try and cut down on the salt and processed foods (incredibly high in fat and salt).  Look for alternatives to flavour things like pepper, lemon juice, spices (I went through a Curry phase). This still may not prevent the typical symptoms of steroid use like Chipmunk cheeks and a round tummy, some people just exibit those symptoms.  Just keep an eye on your weight, try and eat healthy, and don't let Lupus stop you from being active.

Well I get palpitations and start going into panic mode when I drink it. I gave up on it a long time ago. It's full of the nastiest crap you could possibly put in your body. Drink redbull if you dont mind risking your life. You're better off drinking lots of alcholol. At least the effects are more long term.

Q: What will happen if I drink alcohol while taking LEXAPRO?\n\nA: Studies show that LEXAPRO does not increase the cognitive and motor effects brought on by alcohol. However, alcohol may deepen depression. Therefore, the use of alcohol with patients taking LEXAPRO is not recommended.\n\n~*~\n\nRemember, alcohol is a depressent.  I would HIGHLY recommend not taking it.  My mom drinks alcohol and takes her anti-depressants, but the alcohol cancels out the lexapro.  Don't do it man...

No.  In fact, it is a good thing.\nYou will be charging your body with glucose (sugar), and likely potassium, sodium, and other essential electrolytes.  So long as you actually workout (not just prance about the gym trying to attract attention), you will be fine.\n\nThe danger is in drinking too much of these drinks...and not working out.  You will overload your body with these electrolytes and actually dehydrate yourself...and potentially cause organ damage.\n\nGood luck, and stay active!

In spite of some other responses, steroid nasal sprays are perfectly fine for recurrent sinus inflammation.  They are typically prescribed for people that have sinus infections over and over.  The amount of steroid that gets into the blood stream through the nose is very minimal and hasn't been shown to cause the side effects that taking oral steroids does.  If you have a serious other condition (such as diabetes or glaucoma) then you should probably not take any steroids, but if you are lucky enough to not have these other conditions, then steroids are perfectly acceptable.

Not according to the site below from which the quote below comes.\n\n\n"This is not an easy condition to treat, and sometimes doctors rely on treatment of the blood pressure and cholesterol. However, in some cases a course of steroids (prednisolone) produces a marked benefit, especially if there is heavy protein loss in the urine. If steroids fail, more powerful drugs that affect the immune system may be effective. Doctors have used a drug called cyclosporin in some cases. This is normally used to prevent the rejection of kidney transplants.\n\nBoth steroids and cyclosporin may have side effects, so it is important to discuss the relative risks and benefits of any treatment with your doctor before starting such drugs. However, it may be worth a trial of such treatment if there is a chance of preventing the need for dialysis treatment."

No problem.I drank coffee while on klonipin with no problems at all. My Dr. said it was ok but to remember that coffee can all so be the cause of anxiety and that i should reduce my coffee intake as much as possible,so i went from 2 pots a day to 3-4 cups.

water and stay away from sweets. eat plenty of raw veggies and this will help. prednisone is a natural weight and appetite increaser and it is a bad drug but can make you better.

Glucocorticoids vs. Corticosteroids\n\nBudesonide in comparison other corticosteroids has little influence on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis which also limit the need of tapering before discontinuation.\n\nBudesonide are glucocorticoids are a class of steroid hormones characterised by an ability to bind with the cortisol receptor and trigger similar effects. Glucocorticoids are distinguished from mineralocorticoids and sex steroids by the specific receptors, target cells, and effects. Technically, the term corticosteroid refers to both glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, but is often used as a synonym for glucocorticoid.\n\nTriamcinolone Acetonide are Corticosteroids are hormones produced naturally by the adrenal glands which have many important functions on every organ system. Corticosteroids affect the strength of heart muscle and its response to natural chemicals affecting heart rate. They affect the water and salt balance in the body and also enable the body to cope with stress. Stress includes changes in temperature, pain, fear, anxiety and illness and can be hazardous if the body is not equiped to cope, due to low levels of corticosteroids. Corticosteroids allow us to respond to stress by increasing the rate and force of the heartbeat, increasing blood supply to essential tissues (muscle, heart, brain), increasing the body's supply of energy by raising blood sugar and by several other effects on body systems. Triamcinolone acetonide is a synthetic corticosteroid and is given by injection in many situations where a lasting corticosteroid effect is required. This includes replacement therapy in people whose adrenal glands are not producing enough natural steroids (adrenal insufficiency) and decreasing inflammation in certain disease states. Corticosteroids decrease inflammation by acting within cells to prevent the release of certain chemicals that are important in the immune system. These chemicals are normally involved in producing immune and allergic responses, resulting in inflammation. By decreasing the release of these chemicals in a particular area, inflammation is reduced. This can help control a wide number of disease states, characterised by excessive inflammation. They include severe allergic reactions, inflammation of the lungs in asthma and inflammation of the joints in arthritis. The injection can be given as a single dose to people who suffer from hayfever and don't respond to conventional therapy. This can relieve symptoms over the entire hayfever period. Triamcinolone may also be given by injection directly into a joint to relieve inflammation and pain and increase mobility of the affected joint, in conditions such as arthritis. Triamcinolone also decreases the numbers of white blood cells circulating in the blood. This is useful for the treatment of certain types of leukaemia, where there is an abnormally large production of certain white blood cells. It is also used to treat some diseases which are caused by the immune system attacking the body's own tissues (auto immune diseases). Triamcinolone is used in much higher doses than the levels of corticosteroids produced naturally by the body, and as such, the usual actions of corticosteroids become exaggerated and can be observed as side effects of this medicine. are hormones produced naturally by the adrenal glands which have many important functions on every organ system.

From personal experience from using NON anabolic steriods(corticosteriods) as an immunosuppressant after a lung transplant, they do cause weight gain (puffy cheeks and weight gain the belly), high blood pressure, water retention and muscle loss and the obvious immunosuppression.

Alka-Seltzer works the best for me, too.  \n\nHope you feel better soon.

Cortisol, the body's natural steroid hormone has a circadian rhythm - it is highest in the morning and lowest late at night. This is what causes the normal waking-sleeping cycle.\n\nPrednisolone is a synthetic steroid, and by taking it, you over-ride your body's natural rhythm of steroid secretion and have a persistently elevated steroid level in your blood stream, leading to insomnia.

There MIGHT be some issues with say, stress on the liver, if you're asking it to deal with alcohol and some antibiotics at the same time.  Some antibiotics are quite rough on our bodies.\n\nThere MIGHT be a loss of effectiveness if you're drinking enough (volume and frequency) to depress your immune system.\n\nWhen I was an undergrad, we asked the microbiology-immunology-pharmacology professor about it and he didn't seem to think it was a huge deal.  He pointed out that you'll probably end up excreting more of the antibiotics in your urine due to the increase in volume.\n\nI've also seen people drink while taking antibiotics and not seem to suffer any immediate ill effects.\n\nHowever, it's probably worth it to just not drink alcohol for the 2 weeks or whatever.

Plants, like fruits and vegetables, can be genetically engineered to produce bigger fruits. Steriods are naturally produced by the adrenal gland in mammals. Fruits are not mammals. I have never heard of fruits on steroids. Steroids are very powerful and very toxic. I have taken steroids for 3 years for an inflammatory autoimmune disease. You are probably referring to anabolic steroids. Since steroids are so dangerous do you think the Food and Drug Administration would allow them to be in fruits without your knowledge. Eat the pomegranate. The antioxicdants will do you both some good. There are no steroids in that fruit.
