[quote name="laudablepuss"][quote name="Just Another Mysterious Stranger"]5mg = not enough to make you gnaw down trees like a beaver, but enough to interfere with your ability to exercise enough to break a sweat, and enough to screw with your sleeping patterns, cause anxiety, etc. I was on 5mg for about 6 years after the big doses of the first year or so, and after I went off (supervised) my life went to the next level. On the other hand, although anxiety and feeling low-level sick and stressed all the time could have a deleterious effect on one's dating life, it's more likely that girls just don't like you. You should talk about that! [/quote] I ask you to believe me when I say, the prednisone is having zero or nearly zero effect on me in that way. I know this for the simple reason that I have been prone to the sorts of behavior and over-reacting feelings before, since basically forever. I've got considerable experience with this drug now, from my most recent bout and from back in college when I took a bunch for a long period of time for a different thing.[/quote]
