I was put on Prednisone for 7 days 50 mg/day and lowing dosage every 2 days by 10 mg for what my specialist called sudden nerve hearing loss. I suppose it was supposed to help shrink any inflammation with the hearing nerve. After being on it for 3 days, I noticed a few of the usual side affects mentioned here. Extreme appetite, insomnia, thirst, etc. By the fourth day, I had severe mood swings and by the fifth day, I felt like I literally could hurt someone bad. I was very irritable and full of rage. It's about as close to a pyschotic episode as I ever want to be and I'm glad I talked to my family dr about getting off this med immediately and since I wasn't on it very long, quiting wasn't a problem. People and their loved ones need to be very carefull if they are taking this med. I'll never take it again.
