How many here will admit to having had a steriod induce psychosis?

here is the problem....I AM THE BOSS!!!!!!!! IT is my job to notice what is wrong with what my employees and correct it. The rollercoaster ride was theirs not mine. I was very constant in my anger.

A few of the crappy ones did quit-i did not just say that out loud.

I am better equiped to deal with this now.

Hah! I think you would be a delight to work for, Leigh--though I get the sense that would make you mad, which would be even more charming....

SO now that I'm feeling better I find myself having to resist the urge to quit my drugs. I know logically it makes no sense and would very likely put me int a flare, so it's not going to happen, but man I resent those prednisone pills every morning. Am I exceptionally weird or what?

Hardly, most of us on pred would like to be off it yesterday! Yes, do resist the urge to quit...I accidentally cut down (transposed numbers...very dumb) and paid for it for about 2-3 weeks. Good luck Bob!

I would be very proud of being "exceptionally weird", Bob. But I also think you would be nuts not to resent the pred. It is a vile, necessary drug. As the saying goes, we can't live with it, and we can't shoot it.

If you've ever seen Full Metal Jacket, I've turned into GySgt Hartman a few times! Few things set me off but let's just say the kids think twice before talking back to their Mother!

I hear ya. But please do not quit your drugs. Not even for a day. Pinky swear?

[Psyborg]

I promise I won't...I really don't want to drop back into all the issue I had through the Summer after the last time I felt better Though that time wasn't my fault.

So do you think we are tied to some regiment/dosage forever?! Like you all, I want off of it!

No, Kathy. Many people get off all the meds, at least for awhile. And even though I've been on something since dx in 2006, my regimens and dosages have changed a lot.
