I got a respiratory infection and got prescribed Prednisone to fight it. The Prednisone has been helping, but has made my symptoms of schizophrenia a lot worse, including dangerous mood swings and tweaky paranoia. Does anybody have any suggestions for dealing this this?

    In my head, before I clicked on this, I was positive you were talking about anabolic steroids and that the subject matter was wildly different. My heart goes out to you. Even if you have the one day left of treatment, it still seems prudent to talk to your provider about your severe side effects because god forbid you get another infection you won't be caught on the backfoot if they try to give you prednisone again. You'll be aware of your options. You might even help someone else out if that provider is assisting someone else with a similar background.
