So, I have a history of mild depression and anxiety, but lately, after staring budesonide my depression has progressively gotten worse (granted, this is also a stressful time as my symptoms are flaring) but then last night, after accidentally taking 15mg instead of 9mg in the morning I started to get really really depressed and starting hearing voices (which is terrifying btw, for those of you who haven't had the pleasure of randomly hearing people talk to you who AREN'T THERE). I immediately called my therapist and my GI doc. Therapist said to go to ER, or take a benzo to calm down and make sure someone sits with me. I didn't go to the ER (at this point I'm sick of hospitals) and am feeling better this morning (still sad), but when my GI called this morning he said it was probably just a meltdown to all the stress I'm under (disease flaring, having to push back the start of my 3rd year rotations) and nothing to do with budesonide (since it's so poorly absorbed systemically).
WTF is going on? Seriously freaked out. GI doc said to keep taking budesonide, haven't talked to therapist yet, and fiancé (a surgery resident) said not to take budesonide under any circumstances.
When I was in the hospital I was on IV pred and then continued on it out patient and though I was moody-it was nothing like the sadness/depression since starting budesonide. wtf wtf wtf. ?!?! :sign0085:
