What Causes Mood Swings After Taking Prednisone?
I was on Prednisone for three weeks due to a bad cold, bronchitis and COPD. Now for the past two weeks my brain feels like it has gone haywire ( it feels like I am going into altered states). Does this sound like a reactuion to the Prednisone and what can be done to quiet down my brain?

Hello,
It is due to anxiety. Prednisone per se does not cause such symptoms.
Avoid unwanted stress and anxiety. Relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation can help a bit.
If symptoms persist you can consult a psychiatrist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
