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.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I am already on two or three antipsychotics for anxiety. I have discussed this extensively with the my pulmonologist, my pharmacist, my physician and my psychiatrist. All are in agreement that I just need to deal with the temporary side effects.
