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?
I guess I feel like I'm too late into the prescription for a change to really matter. I'm almost over the sickness now, and only have one day of the steroid left. I didn't realize how manic/psychotic it was making me until last night, so at this point I feel like I kinda have to just eat it. Should I be worried about the after effects? I may ask a psych about that
Probably still talk to the doctor? They might know about lingering effects, and they'll be able to update whatever files they have so they know to use something else if you ever need it again.
