Brief Answer:
Antihistamine drugs will help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.
I can certainly understand your concerns.
Yes, indeed your are suffering with steroid withdrawal symptoms.
At this point, you need a short course of antihistamine and NSAID antiflammatory drugs.
This will certainly resolve many of your symptoms to a great extent.
II generally prescribe oral pills of Deslor and Viveron for 2 weeks. Please check with your physician if he shares my views and if can prescribe the same to you.
Pertaining to suicidal tendencies, a short course of anxiolytic and andepressant pill like NEXITO forte will be of great help. Kindly check with your physician for prescription.
To conclude it may take around 2 to 3 months for symptoms to resolve with medication.
Post your further queries if any.
