Depression effect of Prednisolone

I started using prednisolone 40 mg because of a deterioration in my copd. It followed a high-altitude flight. I was full of verve and thought it was great that I suddenly felt so good. My pain in my joints was gone, too. Finally run painless again. That was great. Together with my doctor, I agreed to permanently take 5 mg because of osteoarthritis. Imperceptibly, my psyche changed. I became aggressive, had mood swings, and got very bad anxiety and depression. At some point I came to the conclusion that it has to do with the prednisolone. I just stopped taking it. Unfortunately, the pain started again. My new family doctor prescribed my prednisolone again. I started 15 mg again 3 weeks ago. I should take 15 mg, 12.5 mg, 10 mg, 7.5 mg for 1 week until I reach 5 mg. At 15 mg, I was almost in high spirits again. Now I am at 10mg and have very bad anxiety and panic attacks and depression. I came to the conclusion that I would rather endure the pain, rather than these states of anxiety. If possible I do not want to take cortisone anymore.

This drug was the worst thing that ever happened to me. It had more side effects than effect and I’m not really that sensitive. I had depression of it and not just a bit but with suicidal thoughts, dizziness, heart rate, high blood pressure, sleep disorders, sweats, I have 7 kilos in a very short time, had acne and this typical moon face. and then you have to crawl this shit stuff still step by step and can not settle it, very big shit-the colitis symptoms are then in addition to the side effects additionally there!
