Prednesalone

I have been on pred most of the time since Christmas and finaly off them with reductions. I wish I was told what to expect coming off them.I know we all react diffrent and I was ok on it just a few days but the last 2 weeks after a long time on them i have been so depressed and lathargic and in tears most days . I rang my doc and he said it was the main problem coming off them and gave me 1mg ones keep in with my 5mg ones for next time if need them and reduce 1mg a week. I felt loads better after talking to my doctor as felt like i was loosing the plot . How do you feel after coming of steroids . EDIT-am ok now xxx

i have bipolar [not sure meant to be even taking them with it? heyho], i find my mood takes a fairly big drop when im first off them, then it stabilizes out again. hope this helps a lil bit
