I'm still waiting for "euphoria" side effect. It's been two years, it's never happened.

Yeah, I'm with Joan. I'm not sold on the "Prednisone-made-me-do-it" defence that the article went with. I'm also not sold that his proclivities/perversions only began after he began taking Prednisone.

I was also never euphoric or 'manic' on it...just a little bit more grumpy than usual, but most people couldn't tell the difference. I coulda really used some euphoria!

mindbending, soulshaking wicked poison...

Hi All,
Oh ya, I definitely get 'wired' from Pred.
I get edgey, mind races out of control and very tough to sleep.

Having said that, in no way do I interpret this as pleasant or euphoria...
nor would I feel good about using it as a murder defense?!?

Prednisone, for me, is in no way about feeling good about an-y-thing.
I was at the pharmacy renewing my Pred, (my GI from out of town had called it in),
and the tech was giving me some hassle about some silly detail.

She did not get my joke, but I said:
Don't worry, nobody is trying to abuse THIS stuff.
(street value = zero)
Heck, I'd dart across the street not to say 'hello' if I saw Prednisone first. corn-y!

For me it is a necessary evil. sigh

ps for me - after the Pred up, comes the dark Pred down -oh boy
EEK

That's pretty interesting but blaming it on the Pred is pretty ridiculous.

I think I am going to start using the "Prednisone Defense" for every stupid thing I do.... better than the "Devil Made me Do It!" LOL!
