That is definitely a short-term taper of Prednisolone. You won't have to worry about the side effects, although you can get the "steroid rage" some people get. I have never got that, though, so I can't tell much about it. I've understood it mostly just makes you much more active and full of energy.

- Best regards and PFDAN,

Lots of energy when it works and some acne, but you shouldn't grow boobies , I've never noticed the "riod rage" but I know some do. Good luck sorry there back, Phil
