[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 265030, member: 3444"] I never realized pred could make a BiPolar (BP) person manic, but in hindsight, after husband's brain surgery, that's exactly what happened to him. They had him on massive steriods to prevent post-op swelling. The day after his surgery, what was his primary concern? When he going to be cleared for sex?! He was insistent that I ask his nurse, and she looked at him like he was crazy and that should be the last thing on his mind after such a major operation. It also explains why he was talking non-stop once the sedative wore off and why he had boundless energy just 24 hours post-op, why he convinced the hospital he was ready to go home sooner than he should have. Why he hallucinated in the hospital. Why he was explosively irritable and irrational. If he ever needs surgery again, you can bet I'm having a chat with the surgeon and psychiatrist about his medications! [/QUOTE]
