What should I do if my severe itching has returned and is keeping me awake at night, only three to four days after finishing a five-day course of Medrol 16mg?
It is quite common for symptoms to return, or 'rebound,' after finishing a short course of methylprednisolone (Medrol) if the underlying trigger hasn't fully cleared. Please contact your prescribing doctor right away. They may need to adjust your treatment, perhaps with a tapered dose or an alternative therapy. In the meantime, applying cool compresses or taking an over-the-counter antihistamine can help soothe your skin so you can rest.
