I was on prednisone for 6 days 60mg the first day and then 40mg for the remainder and beginning the day after the last dosage for the following 3 days my body would crash. I would go through these severe mood swings I would be fine one and then about 1/2 an hour later feel very depressed for a while. I also felt swollen and heavy. I knew it must have been the prednisone because I have no other reason to be depressed and then somone else I knew had similar emotional side effects

Yep the prednisone will give you severe mood swings :)

They made me go psychotic while I was on them :)

You are not going crazy and it is not all in your head. It is the prednisone.

My advice is if your doctor is not listening to you about your side effects then find one who will :)

If you want to talk to me more about this then e-mail me at paperworkfairy@gmail.com

good luck
