MethylPrednisolone & Insomnia

Symptoms and treatments
1

Hello all,
I’ve just gone on to steroids to help with a relapse (500mg, 5 days). I’ve had this treatment before but this time the insomnia is so bad! Didn’t sleep until 4am.

I’m hoping taking the tablets earlier in the day (rather than midday when I got my prescription yesterday) will help. At the rate I’ll be a zombie all week! At least the meds are working already.

Any advice on sleep or sleep remedies appreciated.

OTC sleep remedies are worth a try. Next time, maybe talk a few zopiclone out of your GP. They don’t like doling them out in significant amounts, but you only need a few to cover those steroid white nights!

Thank you! I will make a note!
