Is it just my child who does this???

Thanks Tish. I seem to notice the change in her about an hour after shes had it. Shes having 1.5ml twice a day. While I don't mind this change in the morning as i can cope with her having a later sleep...the one at night drives me nuts as shes awake so much longer!

Yup DS was the same when he had it.

OMG. He was just bouncing off the walls.

Prednisone is a steroid, so you'd expect your child (or adult even) to go crazy when they've taken it.
I take it when my asthma is really bad, and it's an awful drug. I dread having to take it, and I dread having to wean off it.

My Mum takes very high dose prednisone and the two major side effects that she gets are really high blood glucose levels and insomnia - they are both listed as possible side effects - and could explain the hyper activity.

It is bad enough in a grown woman - I just can't imagine how much "fun" it could be in a wee one
