Maybe call your pdoc and ask for an opinion? Or you just try it and see what happens. It's going to be very individual.

When you say "as long as we stick to a few selected from trial and error," did the ones that *didn't* work trigger a mood swing? You mentioned that your "skin steroid" -- or whatever you want to call it -- made you agitated, so I'm just wondering about how the steroids you've inhaled have affected you mood wise, if at all.
