As someone who regularly gets a fucking gramm of them iV.... Yeah, don't. It's not pretty.

I had to take prednisone for twelve days. On the first day I took it with my Vyvanse and ended up struggling with really bad anxiety all day. I barely felt like I could breathe. So I spent the rest of the days off my Vyvanse and now I'm terribly far behind on everything xD

Well, to expand, I had a cough for three weeks, just could not rest, took a break from work Monday, got steroids and a chat with my psych on Tuesday, so on Wednesday after two days of no ritalin/deep rest and a new pr resting heartbeat (I love health gameifaction) I decided to start back easy with half my normal dose of ritalin and my second max dose of steroids 8x5mg (I think)

It was a lot like that bradley cooper movie, no idea the name, "I can maintain" just got lots done, including dusting off my bike and going for a spin, https://sh.itjust.works/post/20050726

Anyway the rest of day was fine really, I just kinda lay there until 5 in the morning, getting more annoyed about how I've fucked up Thursday just because I couldn't sleep.

I am probably just way overdoing the ritalin at 60mg a day, so 30mg+max adult dose of steroids after two days with no ritalin was stilk too much.

I'm curious to know why not to do it as well. I'll probably never do ritalin or steroids but I'm still curious. Like, does it cause heart attack and/or multiple organ failure? Does it cause vomiting? Does it make you generally feel like shit like a hangover?
