Is it safe to take steroid Prednisone with suboxone?
I was told by the clinic that I attend to received my Methadone that it IS safe to take prednisone while taking Methadone. I am currently on my second prescription of prednisone and a Z-pack antibiotic for a chest cold and this time as with the last time I was on the antibiotics, the swelling in my hands, legs and feet that I have had due to the Methadone has gone completely away!! I have been having the side effects of extreme swelling and water retention since being on methadone, to the point to where I can hardly get my body out of the bed in the mornings, my joints ache and if I sit still for long periods of time the fluid in my body from the swelling settles in my legs, feet and joints so when I go to get up it usually takes me a minute or two, literally, to stand up and be capable of walking b/c I am so sore...but the prednisone makes that all go away within 48 hours of the medicine being in my system. I began my round of the predisone 2 days ago and this morning I awakend with NO fluid on my body and have felt WONDERFUL today!! I don't know if the results of this are typical for everyone, but I know it has made a HUGE difference for me and I feel just fine, no other side effects...but the bad part about this is about 5 days AFTER I complete my round of the prednisone the fluid slowly begins to build back up in my body resulting in the terrible pain and discomfort of the fluid retention...also, I am not sure if the dose mg makes a difference in how bad the swelling becomes, I have yet to ask my doctor that question...anyway, I hope my statement helps anyone who was asking about taking the two meds together!

What steroids make your buttocks bigger?
Short Answer - Yes They can make your butt Grow.
However before you run off and get on the juice, its important to understand the side effects of steroids. If you ask someone with no experience they will most likely go by the media's negative stereotypes and tell you that they will turn you into a harry beast. That is not true. There are many different types of steroids, and to get such side effects you would have to take them in higher dosages and for long extended periods of time ( many months / years ). Most of the beast looking body building women you see in magazines are taking multiple steroids plus Growth Hormone in very high dosages.
If you take a very mild steroid, on a regular schedule, the side effects will be more energy, lower body fat, increased muscle mass, and slight change in mood, increased libido. If you take higher dosages then you can expect deepening of the voice, hair growth, increased size of genitals, and a compulsion to sit around and watch ESPN sports center all day. ( Not kidding )
I am not endorsing steroids, but I know plenty of people ( and women ) who are on them and if you are not genetically gifted with a big butt, yes a mild steroid plus weights targeting the butt will give you the results you are looking for.

Can you take prednisone and Darvocet in the same day?
Yes, but I wouldn't recommend doing large dosages of either nor would I take both for an extended period of time. Oral Steroids are methylated and so is Darvocet meaning both must be passed through the liver in order to be absorbed by your bloodstream. Large dosages of both can become hepatoxic and cause liver damage and possibly failure. The most ideal thing to do would be to cut out the steroids while coping with an injury (if this is why you are taking the pain killers) or switch to an non-methylated (injectable) steroid.
