Hi
I dont want to make a big issue about this but as I have been experiencing some difficulty, on and off over the last week with depressive symptoms although they are quite difficult acute episodes they do lift and ease off to a point where Im not so worried.
Thats it in a nutshell.
Im wondering if Im getting these depression symptoms because of the taper to 5mg of Pred for over a week now which is the longest period Ive been able to manage without this drug eruption lichen planus rash overwhelming me.
Ive also come off the Plaquinel for a week.
Ive experienced really bad depression a very long time ago.
Im familar with the signs and hallmarks.
This is different in as much as
1. I honestly do not feel its related to my circumstances
2. Im rapid cycling ( bit like bipolar) in as much as it can completely lift by the afternoon like a fog.
3. Today I woke up feeling normal:wink2:
Im thinking out loud now when I say this but I wonder if lupus has been supressed by the Prednisolone and the bounce back is upsetting my chemical lupy equilibrium.
Sorry really unscientific I know.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Nicky
