You are NOT crazy!! Steroids can cause an increase in bp and heart rate, along with anxiety, depression, mood swings, hot flashes, weight gain, increased appetite, insomnia, and a whole host of other problems. Withdrawals of the medication can cause muscle pain, weakness, headaches, dizzyness, fatigue, and more lol...the medication wears off in a few months...the immune suppression can last up to year, so be careful during this cold/flu season. Drink tons of fluids, as it does help with the withdrawals.

The most important thing is to be KIND TO YOURSELF!! I know it's not easy when you get the mood swings, but you really should try some relaxation techniques to help you get through it. I see a great therapist that deals with patients who are medically ill and are on these types of meds, maybe someone like that could help you find some techniques that would help without more meds.

Please feel free to email me on here or privately if you would like to talk more!!
