Hi,

Treatment with corticosteroids can be very trying. The med can cause an upswing or a downswing in mood. Some swing into hypomania/mania, while still others go into a depression. I have done both. I have also had steroid-induced psychosis.

I have had many high dose treatments. I also stay on low-dose daily, which can also create challenges.

Please contact the prescribing doctor to see if there is any other alternative.
A lower dose? A different med? A topical med/lotion?

Please also contact your pdoc who can help to decide if you need a med adjustment to help you to safely get through this time. Reactions to prednisone can get out-of-hand quickly.

I agree with Elsa, keep a close eye on yourself. Explain to others around you, asking for them to also keep a close eye on you.

Be safe.
