Does Prednisone Cause Mood Swings?

My husband has two more days to be off Prednisone and he does not want to finish taking it because yesterday he felt extreme mood swings and not like himself. He is sure that it was caused by the pills. What can happen if he doesn t take the last 3 pills? Two today and 1 tomorrow. Thanks.
