[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 265084, member: 1233"] I am not bipolar and took prednisone for inflammation while I was a teen. I had the worst mood swings. It was almost like I could see myself saying these awful things and couldn't stop it. I was horrible. I was so mean I made myself cry, literally. I went off the steroids on my own, when the doctor insisted I needed them. They NEVER made me feel better, just worse. Finally I took one on the day I had a doctor appointment. I let it rip during the doctor appointment (and this doctor overbooked so you usually had about 1-2 hours of waiting in the waiting room before you were seen.) and before it. My mom knew what I was doing and so I didn't get in trouble for it. It really opened the doctor's eyes. He KNEW me, we had a pretty good relationship. He was STUNNED. When I am mean I am just vicious. Since then I have refused them every time they offered them because they won't give me anything to counteract the mean factor. Even the nasal spray steroids make me mean. I am sorry your difficult child has to be on them. It truly is one of the worst feelings you could have when you are on the steroids. EVERYTHING gets on your last nerve. Here is my extra rhino skin to help you through this steroid enhanced gfgness. [/QUOTE]
