Hi, I was just diagnosed with Crohn's disease and started on 40mg of prednisone (20 mg, twice a day) yesterday. All of yesterday and today so far I've been feeling pretty foggy headed and distracted. Things feel kinda slow motion sometimes. I didn't notice this on the list of common side effects, so I thought I'd ask about it. Anyone else get this? I'm hoping it goes away since I'm not sure how I'll be able to concentrate for my classes.

Made me a little foggy at first, but then it made me really hyped up. Anxious, jittery and had difficulty sleeping. I also had a very hard time tapering off.
It helped though, a necessary evil....

Prednisone is the wonderful drug with many side effects both highs and lows. Fogginess is not uncommon, but most people tend to be more keyed up and unable to focus in general because of it.
Here's a list that breaks down a good deal of the side effects:
