It sounds like Prednisone to me. Yes, the drug, and the taper to get off it- can make totally sane people nuts. Be patient with yourself. It will pass. (Clue the family in also, and let them know how you feel-- that it's not 'personal'-- but they are 'for-warned.')

You can go into your email preferences, and designate not only the type (font) that you want the print to show up as, but also you can set the text to "wrap around" so that it just fills up the email in a block text (like you see in books). If you are trained on an old typewriter, and have the habit of hitting the return key when you get to the end of the line- that to will give you the break in the text.

I also had awkward breaks in my response text. Since I respond through

my browser, not my mail program, I switched browsers. It seemed to

help [when I remember to do this that is]:-)
