Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Prednisone has half life of 18 to 36 hours. It is converted into active form prednisolone in liver. After which it is excreted by kidneys. So a dose of prednisone will stay upto 10 days in body maximum.
As per the side effects taking prednisone, you are facing like anxiety,mood changes, insomnia should decrease in 2-3 days. These effects are short term effects only. They might be also related to intake of oxycodone, which is morphine derivative.
Refer to your physician
Hope this information helps
