I went through increased paranoia when I had bronchitis and took steroids. I was already stressed because I was so tired from bronchitis that I felt totally out of control of my body. I usually take Seroquel for sleep but ended up taking it during the day and although I had to take 3 25 mg. pills instead of 2, it really helped. Maybe you could ask your Dr. to prescribe you antipsychotic medications until you go off Prednisone (if you're not already taking them)? Just a thought. I wish you well. Take care.
