[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 265338, member: 1157"] Prednisone made my Oldest psychotic, and resulted in her first hospitalization at age 10. They actually wrote "prednisone-induced psychosis" as the diagnosis for that admission. At that time it was the first-line drug of choice for Crohn's Disease, and it was tough to convince the doctors to finally wean her off of it. I learned later that it was a bad, bad idea to give a bipolar person steroids.. in fact, it was one of the factors that led to her bipolar diagnosis at that time. I *think* that in the past couple of years, she's been put on very short courses of pred for something non-Crohn's related, an allergic reaction I think ... but she was on it less than a week and tapered quickly, so it didn't seem to affect her (at least, that's what she said, perhaps I should have asked her live-in boyfriend his thoughts!) At any rate, I would definirtely say NO to any prolonged use of prednisone in any difficult child. [/QUOTE]
