In my experience, Entocort is nothing like prednisone. They are night and day. I was lucky and the Entocort worked wonders on me. I was on it for four years. I had non of the nasty side effects that I did on prednisone.
It didn't cause me anxiety, joint aches, insomnia, weight gain, moon face-nada. I would never have believed I was on any sort of steroid. The cortico-part of it makes a world of difference.
