Morning all, I was wondering if anyone else experiences a surge in anxiety symptoms on the day they take AA. I definitely feel my mood nose diving in the day when I take it.

Just an offload really: I woke up today (AA day) and decided not to take it. I’ve just been reading previous posts on here and ive found it pretty scary to read that once stopping taking it, it can stay in your system for 10 yrs. That’s frightening stuff. I was diagnosed over the phone withPMR

I asked my GP (again!)about taking Adcal and explained that a lot of people on this forum were automatically prescribed it when put on steroids.
