Does anybody know anything about how prednisone withdrawal affects mood? I was on predisone for six weeks for a Lupus flare,starting at 20mg and slowly tapering down. I finally stopped totally last week and now I feel icky, both physicaly and mentally. I'm crying easily, eating a lot of junk, and have started thinking about suicide a lot again - this is the way I felt before I started treatment w/ Celexa and Wellbutrin - is this caused by stopping prednisone? If so, how long will it last - it would help if I knew that an end was in sight.
