What Causes Severe Paranoia While On Prednisone In A Child?
My 8 yr old daughter has been on prednisone for about a week and has been waking up with severe paranoia and fear. She is now done with the medication will these symptoms stop? It started when she had high fever then again once she was on the meds. Never was a problem before.
