I had a bad case this summer also, it was my first ever. I went to the DR and they gave me prednisone script which I took for about a week and then stopped early. Stopping the pills cold-turky caused me to break out into a rash that was worse the the posion ivy. I had to go back on the pills and slowly wean off of them.
I think next time, I suffer with the posion ivy instead of taking the pills.
i have a tube of stuff i got from a dr for poison ivy i got two summers ago, so i used that. i can't tell if it really works though. i suspect its just a placebo. straight vaseline.

Oh yah... Another great side effect of the pills was that I couldn't sleep. I got about 1-2 hours of sleep each night.
