Hello -
I just finished a course of corticosteroids for an allergic reaction, including IV solumedrol. I have been experiencing extreme anxiety, mania, depersonalization, difficulty concentrating. Basically - nuts. I ended up in the ER from a panic attack 2 days ago. Never experienced it to that extent in my life - didn't even recognize it as a panic attack - thought I was having a heart attack at the time. I took my last prednisone dose today and I am still feeling totally whacked out. Has anyone here experienced this? if so, what did you do? I am on Lexapro 12.5 and was supposed to start Geodon but haven't yet b/c of all this going on (just got bipolar diagnosis a couple weeks ago). ANy recommendations? I havent been able to drive, work etc for a week. This is making me lose it.
THanks
Laura
