Wrong tree, so stop your barking. Prednisone is a powerful medicine with some powerful side effects. But it is life-saving for many conditions. If you ever have to take it, you would understand. This is not drug addiction and let's not drop to the same level as the RATs on this one. The dosage must be tapered off slowly or very serious side effects can occur. No matter what you feel about Jerry Lewis, this is neither the time or the place...

One does not get a "high" from being "addicted" to Predisone.
There is no black market for it and there is no roving bands of addicts knocking over old ladies for their Social Security checks to pay for their habit.

It is a steroid, not a narcotic. I took it several years ago for Rheumatoid Arthritis and gained a tremendous amount of weight because of it. Lewis deserves our prayers, not our condemnations.
