Hi on a reducing dose of pred for the second time wondering if these cause mood swings with anyone cos usually I'm easy going bhut just now my moods are all over the place thanks

Oh yes, I got mood swings during regular dosages and tapers. However they seem to get worse with each new taper. The last taper I had made me pretty depressed. There wasn't much I could do but make every effort to practice self-care, wait it out, and talk it out with whoever was willing to listen.

Do you have any relaxation methods that you use? Therapy is also an option I used it once before short-term during a taper and it helped me cope a bit better. Also, if you are capable, some light to moderate exercise might help to balance you out a little.
