prednisone & veggies & melatonin - adderall=orneriness?

August 9, 2002

My mom took prednisone for 20 years or so (severe RA). She never went

insane on it (not like ME)--but every time she tried to taper off of it,

she'd end up in the U of M hospital. I have taken care of several people on

prednisone and I always pay close attention-I haven't noticed any of them

that have had a psychotic reaction...but, quite a few of them have gotten

extremely irratable.

I have to say this about the veggies - I Will NEVER be able to eat

them......after spending a few nights wondering where the colostomy will go

(when my intestines rupture).....i'd rather suffer from vitamin/mineral

deficiencies......Doesn't matter how little I work into it....I spent over

30 years dieting, and a couple of those being adiet obsessed anorexic-and

have truly tried everything--whether or not it was safe for me to do so!

Raw vegetables and fruits are NOT safe for me, just reading the posts nearly

cause me to panic as I have flashbacks of laying on the bathroom floor a

couple of months ago, when I started taking supplements and attempted for

the millionth time to eat the 'better' diet! I can eat VERY well cooked

asparagus, or carrots (but only a few bites)

I cannot delete the posts as I take the digest....I would read them anyway,

as i'm interested in everyones posts related to FMS...whether or not it's

right for me-but, NADH was the #1 wonder drug for me, I think everyone who

can afford it should try it for 3 weeks--I could post about it every day!

I take melatonin - wonder drug FOR ME #2---(3 mgs) at bedtime when I really

need to get to sleep. it is good for getting me to sleep, but staying

asleep is a different matter. I took it every night for about 2 months and

noticed it's effects started wearing off, so I take only when I need it now.

Adderall or trazadone? If I had to pick one that was causing orneriness,

i'd guess it to be adderall-as it is *supposed to be* something like a

central nervous system stimulant? I wish the doctor would prescribe it for

ME...heck, I wish she'd prescribed anything for me other than

antidepressants and nsaids (which also tear up my stomach and intestines-I

also will NEVER take any of these again)!
