I am a long time sufferer of brain chemistry disorder and have been on LEXAPRO for three years, which has been very effective for my condition. 11 March 2007 I placed on PREDNISONE beginning with 80mg 4xdaily and tapering every four days by 20mg for 4 day periods. This was given to help my immune system.
-- By amaricah | Reply | Private Message meNEGATIVE: The PREDNISONE seemed to over ride the LEXAPRO, and I became very paranoid & suicidal. Experienced racing flash thoughts, was unable to sleep, extremely irritable and had major problems with thought processing. My condition mental condition became worse than it has ever been.
I WAS NOT WARNED this might happen and was not given any type of medication to offset this.
I strongly URGE ANYONE WHO IS ON ANY TYPE OF MOOD MANAGEMENT MEDICATION should talk with their doctor about this kind of side effect before taking PREDNISON.
