Generally, corticosteroids (predisone) typically do not have much, if any, of an impact on skeletal muscle. The most common application of corticosteroids is as an immunosuppressant. That means that this class of steroids helps to "beef up" your immune system to better enable your body to fight infections and reactions to inflammatory diseases.

Prednisone will hinder your immunsystem from overreacting, and will do so in an all-around manner (stated on the inlet).
It will work synergistically in breaking down fat, from, fat-deposits, higher blood-sugar levels, by stimulating glycogen break down from the liver and other deposits, together with somatropine and catecholamines and will facilate the protein-breakdown from muscle tissue, hinder the anabolic spike after training, but, in turn, will double the time of stimulated post-workout protein up-take in worked out muscles(and only in these).
This catabolsim, as well as unwanted immuno-suppresion can be overcome by hgh @3-4iu/day, also cortisone doses might be kept low
by activating aromatase activity by i.e. adding aromatizable steroids (worked well for me could keep my doses couple times lower than without and had less sides).
A high-very high(35+mg/day) dose over more than a month might shut youre adrenal axis down for severyl years, which happened to me, so I feel like a zombie and are unable to do anything, until I get my substitutoin or pharmacological dose (hydrocortisone, or dexamethason, predni when allergyseason begins).
Watch out for bloodpressure and eye-inner pressure and blood sugar!
if your dose is less than 7.5mg/day (cushingoid-border dose),
you´re likely to get away with no sides.

Corticosteroids will break down fat, but then again will redeposit it preferably at the belly, if the calories ain´t burnt.
30mg is supposed to be a high dose, sides are muscleweakness, increased appetite, feeling euphoric, and energized, sleeplessness.
muscleweakeness are supposedly caused by high blood sugar or alike, because it goes away when I´ll find the discipline to workout for more than 1hour, even thopugh I´m lethargic as hell, then it´s gone and I can start to train with more ambition, but it takes a lot discipline and the knowledge, that it´s gonna happen.
In the liong run, depression isnßt unlikelely to occure, because itßs in teh end a stress-hormone and too much of it makes one euphoric first but probably depressive i.e. the 3rd week or so, if one can´t relieve the stress; -cycling for some hours usually does the trick with me and I´m always in a good mood and evens out mood, also;-)
But stay way if you dont really need it and if you do, dont´go higher than the 7,5mg predni equivalent/day or eod = ~50mg Hydrocortisone, =~1.5mg dexamethasone, to name a few.
If you stay with 7.5 it´ll be fine though, IMHO inhalers are just fake and plain rip-off, besides what studies say, it doesn´t help me anything, just sides liek soar theroat and even candida in the pharyny thouzg I _always flushes my mouth, and drank, or ate something. -palin rip-off at least to me.
