Hi I am sure you think you will not go back to normal. BUT I have heard and read a lot about these meds cause I have been on it for almost 4 yrs. The terrible thoughts you have does happen. You are so upset about those thoughts that you worry they will not go away. Take a deep breath and try to think of better thoughts. They will go away and you should not get depressed since you are off of the steroids. You have been on them such a short time that you are lucky. There are a lot of scary side effects that you can read about BUT it does not mean you will get them all. Relax and keep positive. Hope this helps SanDee

Yes you will go back to normal. But don't expect it over night.
