Prednisone and "inappropriate happiness"

Posted , 10 users are following.

I was just looking up sleeping problems as a side affect and also saw "inappropriate happiness" as a side effect.  Whereas it struck me funny, I'm also a little afraid as to what that means.  As of yet, I don't believe I've had any inappropriate happiness...  hmm!

Anybody heard of this OR experienced this? 

Becca

Just wondering.

    Hey There, 'Innapropriate happiness' struck me as funny, too. And as it turns out I'm actually experiencing some version of it right now, along with a slight high feeling. All of it is euphoric. I've never taken prednisone until now. I've been on it 4 days at 50mg a day, and after a week I'll taper off. I'm definitely not complaining about it for one second, more so just noting that I think it exists. I'm enjoying everything even more than I would have without it. An upside to being on them!

      Enjoy it while you can, it doesn't last long - then reality steps in.  Welcome to the club no-one wants to be in.  You will need a lot of help in future and the best help/information you can get is on this forum.
