Side Effects for Solu-cortef (hydrocortisone sodium succinate)
SOLU-CORTEF (HYDROCORTISONE SODIUM SUCCINATE): This medication is used to treat various conditions such as arthritis, severe allergies, blood diseases, breathing problems, certain cancers, eye diseases, intestinal disorders, and skin diseases. It weakens your immune system's response to various diseases to reduce symptoms such as swelling and allergic-type reactions. Hydrocortisone may also be used with other medications to replace certain hormones if you have decreased adrenal gland function or Addison's disease. Hydrocortisone belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids. Hydrocortisone injection is used when a similar drug cannot be taken by mouth or when a very fast treatment is needed for patients with severe medical conditions. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of hydrocortisone, especially if it is to be injected near your spine (epidural). Rare but serious side effects may occur with epidural use.

Put me in ER severe panic attack and left me Stuttering. Four years later my voice is still not my own. Was only on 40mg for less than 2 weeks.
Evil, pure poison....run for your life
Addicted-Bad breath & dry mouth combined with being so tired and teeth problems
While on Compazine, the ER doctor recommended I stay overnight in the hospital, as I had severe head injuries and I was at risk for more fainting episodes. However, all I wanted to do was get out of there. I was completely out of my mind. My service dog was with me and alerting left and right, probably because of the effects of the Compazine. I left against medical advice and it was the worst week of my life.
Anxiety, panic, depression (BPD)
Coughing! 24/7. Cardiologist had not heard of this side effect, but when I stopped (after months) taking it, my 24/7 cough disappeared. It did its job, but doctor switched me to Pradaxa and I no longer have the cough. It was miserable!

Definitelly, poison. I took it twice withing 3 month period. Now I am not sure if I sill survive since my condition is getting worse (two weeks after I stopped taking it)
After Doc upped from 20MG to 40MG per day, and after one month, I now suffer from severe muscle pain in elbows, forearms, wrists and even finger joints. Some persistent pain in hips and bottom of feet as well. Fatigue persists all day. Joints hurt so badly a night, I am awaken by the pain, and cannot fall back to sleep.
