Re: Prednisone and OCD-update

[Guest guest]

Two days off the prednisone and slowly getting back to his old self ( which is

still mouthy and violent but the OCD and anxiety and pure hate is waning). The

doc is putting in his chart he cannot have it. Now to work on the rest of his

issues!

Zoloft. He was on it for 3 years always the same does. No new meds except the

prednisone. He was on 50mg of Zoloft is now at 25mg has been for 3 weeks. He

also takes .25 mg risperdal 2 times a day. He got bronchitis and had to take him

to the ER Sunday night his oxygen was at 88 and having trouble getting breath.

They admitted him overnight. Gave him breathing treatments every 2 hours and

prednisone. They gave him 60mg of it to take at home for four more days. Today,

day three of getting it, he got two doses at the hospital, his moodiness and OCD

which has been dormant was through the roof. He hated then loved everything.

Nothing pleased him, and the new thing, everything had hair or germs. He went to

bed hungry because he wouldn't eat from bags that had been open. Would not drink

sink water or anything from the fridge because it might have hair(mine) in it.

He was insane with the germ thing. The family doc agreed to stop the prednisone

so I am wondering if this will fade away and if this is what caused it?? I

cannot handle this. I mean he wont eat or drink!
