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

I do not like yoga, but loved meditation. I wish I like yoga...I tried many times...even paid for classes that I barely attended. I will try it again, but buy a DVD ( Yoga).

Don't forget that Yoga practice comes in a wide variety of styles. I used to enjoy going to yoga events and sampling other aspects which varied from Eastern style Mystic through Western style Visualisation to something like a Cardio Vascular Workout! My own favourite consisted of low impact postures and breathing followed by a session of Yoga Nidra relaxation / meditation. You need to find the style that suits you best if you are to enjoy it.

Yoga Journal has great videos for beginners. I used them to learn the basics and then practiced on my own or with other videos from there. Jack's right about all the styles-- gotta find what you like. And you also have to enjoy the teacher, too.

I did yoga for about 6 months and really enjoyed it. I keep saying I am going to startt up again. I found a great improvement in my breathing and my mindset. I slept better and to this day when I can't sleep I go to my breathing and it helps. This I learned from the meditation part of the yoga. The one I did was a gentle one. Mostly stretching and holding positions. The more I did it the longer I held the pose and that made me happy.

I've just woken up after a horrid restless night, but I have to admit that I made a basic schoolgirl error. After tossing and turning and spinning and whorling for a few hours I ended up watching a Discovery documentary about Rose West. Spent the next few hours fighting her off as she tried to bury me under piles of duvet. Fool! Will try to remember to watch something benign next time.

This sounds scary. Who is Rose West?

Eeek! If you don't know, Phil, it's probably best to leave it that way!

Eeek is right! After that, I had to google Rose West. That's what I suggest anyone does who wants to know who she is.

Yikes, I also googled her name!

Back to the subject of the thread...my daughter had a steroid induced psychosis while on 70mg of oral prednisone. One must consider she was 14 and weighed ~110 lbs at the time, but I would suggest steroids cause mood lability/changes and alter rational thought at much lower doses.
