Steroids and their side-effects

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
ok, this question is to anybody that has taken steroids. Please dont tell me to see a doctor, as im going this afternoon to see the skin specialist who prescribed me the medication.
Ok, saturday and sunday morning, i was unexpectedly away from home+forgot to take my steroids. Ive taken them since, but last night i started feeling very wierd.
I went to my b.f's and felt really sad for no reason and burst into tears, then i suddenly felt extremely angry - it was like somebody had lit a flame inside me, i could actually feel the anger+it scared me :( :crazyeyes:
Has anybody else suffered these kind of side-effects when taking steroids?? It scared me alot, but im fine now!
Thanx

    Iv suffered these side effects too and i was told by my GP that if a pill or 2 is missed then you can get these angry and sad mood swings.

    It can be caused by having a large dosage at once or high stress levels lately.

    Just make sure you take them reguarly from now on and be careful, but dont worry your gonna be fine :)
