[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 154339, member: 1697"] steoids, even topical ones can and do cause mania even in non mood disordered people. Not ALL people get that side effect, but many do. BUT docs will also say that a severe asthma attack can cause death, so you need to weight the risks and benefits, alive with a mood disorder might be better than dead without a mood disorder? cannot live if you cannot breathe. And yes, your body does absorb the steroid in topical creams, as well, and yes, some people are activated/stimulated by topical steroid creams. There are SO many things that science might eventually pinpoint as cause for mood disorders etc.....vaccinations/thermisol, as far as I know has not been entirely ruled out for some diagnosis'es......I know lice and scabies treatments are neurotoxins, (and sadly many lice have become immune to the available treatments, in many cases) There is toxins in furniture, plywood, wooden playground equipment, deck materials, drapes, carpet, flame retardant sleepware, more preservatives and chemicals in foods, cleaning supplies, pesticides, herbacides, fertilizers, etc etc for lawn care, there is simply SO many things that were not in our world 70 years ago, even simple antibiotics......and antibacterial soaps, dishsooaps, bath gels, so many chemicals to slather on, spray, ingest, walk on, sit on, clean with inhale, etc. chemicals leaching form food wraps, food storage containers, etc...... And medications, did you ever read the entire insert that is available for any medication? they are folded very small, usually, and quite long, and very scientific......but they tell you all kinds of important info--scary info------ANY medication, it will have the expected therapeutic effect, but 99% of the time, it is going to have a whole longlist of possible potential down sides or possible adverse reactions.....of course not every person gets those side effects, some people get no adverse effects that are obvious and noticeable---some adverse effects our body handles and compensates for or copes with without us ever even realizing anything is going on.....some adverse effects do not become obvious for a long time, and if we only use a medication for a small dose for a short time, hopefully no adverse effect will show up- BUT there is always a possibility that any medication can cause an irreversible and possibly dangerous effect. Or, if you are lucky, maybe the bad effect will be of the type that can be controlled with cessation of the medication. Personally, I stop my kids from taking decongestatnts, becuz in my opinion useing a decongestatnt to get a dry effect just traps the toxins inside the body, when the body is trying hard to expel those toxins, and why would I want to interfere with getting rid of a toxin?
