I am taking the steroids. I would rather risk potential scary mental health stuff than scary not breathing properly. And my lungs do feel like they need some extra gelp. So far side effects aren't too bad finding it harder to get to sleep but not fully wired yet. I have been taking them for 2 days now and it usually takes 3 or 4 days for them to start helping my lungs. I am initially on a 7 day course
Partner is aware to some degree of side effects as I have been on them before since we lived together. Not sure if I have had hallucinations around them, I can't really remember. Hoping lower dose will sort lungs, as I usually don't hallucinate on lower dose. I think if I were to hallucinate I would try and talk to my GP and check if it would be safe to temporarily increase my antipsychotics while on steroids.
