Question: Is it normal for your moods to be erratic while taking asthma meds/prednisone!?
Especially with prednisone, I find that my moods shift and change quite a bit, and I get aggressive, and then sad, and feel like crying and just all over the place, like I can't control myself, and what not!.

Is that normal and will it stop after you stop taking the stuff!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, those are definitely some of the side effects of prednisone!. On the one hand, it makes you feel so much better respiratory-wise but it can have weird side effects like those!. You should tell your doc about the side effects!. He/she may reduce the dosage or change meds!. Prednisone is a steroid that slows down the inflammation process!. While doing so it causes the nerves to become somewhat irritable!.
Don't EVER stop taking it all at once!. You have to be weaned off of it about 5 - 10 mg at a time!. If you just stop taking it, your can do some really serious damage!. TELL YOUR DOC!. He/she can do something to help youWww@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, it's normal because all that garbage destroys the "feed back loop" of your endocrine that is a system of complex relationships!. Many of those meds can cause big problems with your body!.

Look at this warning from the FDA!. I can't even imagine why the FDA would not take this off the market!. Maybe they are being funded in a big way by the drug company!?

WASHINGTON - The government ordered stronger label warnings for an injected asthma medication Wednesday because of reports some patients taking the drug, marketed as Xolair, had suffered a delayed and potentially life-threatening reaction known as anaphylaxis!.
A patient experiencing anaphylaxis might have trouble breathing, feel tight in the chest, have swelling in the mouth and throat, suffer dizziness or feel faint, or have itching and hives!.
The risk of anaphylaxis was known when Xolair, also called omalizumab, was approved as an asthma treatment in 2003!. But the Food and Drug Administration ordered the drug manufacturer, Genentech, Inc!., to strengthen the label warnings because of reports of patients having a delayed reaction of anaphylaxis or reacting to a subsequent dose even when they had no problems after a first dose!.
The new warning says:
? Doctors should observe patients for at least two hours after the drug is injected and be ready to manage a potentially life-threatening reaction!.
? Anaphylaxis can occur even if a patient did not react to a previous Xolair injection!.
? Anaphylaxis can occur up to 24 hours after the injection is given!.
? Patients using Xolair should be prepared to treat themselves for anaphylaxis in emergency situations!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
