Prednisone? Mood swings?

[DCannon]

I was on Prednisone when I was 19 after a kidney transplant. I had real bad mood swings when I was on it. One moment I was fine, then next I literally had to be left alone or I was going to hit the next person I saw.

I'm not sure if you can just stop it without tapering your dose, you might want to check with your doctor first.

Dude, you are spot on. I can't believe I forgot telling him this. I do hope he doesn't just stop cold-turkey. That can be life-threatening, as it can cause iatrogenic adrenal insufficiency, if I do recall correctly. Do NOT stop just like that. You need to taper down the dose...please don't do anything without your doctor's permission.
