Could Shivering In Body Be Due To Steroids?

Hi, i was prescribed a course of steroids 4 weeks ago, and took 6 x 2mg tablets a day first thing in the am, for six days, the full length of the prescribed course. The problems started 4 days ago, when i started to have very bad shaking, really bad, couldn t control them for hours. this has kept happening for the last 4 nights, when going to bed. I have lots of other problems, past mental health problems, am taking anti-depressants one a day, am also taking 40mg morphine twice a day for pain relief. also statins, high b/p tablet. Can you advise me what to do? it is very frightening, and am worried . i think it s a form of panic attack. the shaking has slightly decreased each night, but are the steroids to blame? would they still effect me after 4 weeks since i took them? thanks.
