i was put on prednisone 3 days ago due to asthmatic bronchitis. i was put on 60 milligrams a day. which to my understanding is a really high dosage. long story short my cat would not stop meowning and it made me so darn angry that i wanted to throw him around the room and kept chasing him around screaming at him to shut the bleep up and tearing him out of the window every time he tried to get up in the window. i love my cat dearly and he is like my child. i have never EVER treated him badly. he gets more love and affection than most people give their children. he was crying and scared to the point of defecating all over my room. this had no affect on me. it just made me more angry. normally when an animal is scared or hurt i am incredibly empathetic. on top of it i have had severe nose bleeds, and severe heart palpitations. this is after only being on it for three days. i know this product is good for its purpose but as far as the side effects go, i think i would just rather live with my asthma symptoms. i was scared that i was going to lose control and injure myself or my cat or anyone who got in my way. i do not recommend this drug by any means.

Hi. I feel for you. I have severe asthma also and have had that effect from Prednisone. But, the last few times I've taken it, it didn't. I think it was from taking it in combination with another drug; possibly Zoloft. I'm no longer on that so I'm thinking that's why i don't have that side effect anymore. I'm so glad because I worked full time then in an office and I wanted to kill everyone! They were on my nerves so bad and I was so restless and I felt "out of it". Good luck!!
