I was on another corticosteroid for eczema and inflammation that caused it (I had swollen lympth nodes all over my body, and my skin was red and swelling). I was on 4 mg each day of dexamethasone for 28 days and reduced to half dosage for a week to taper off the medication. I think this variant was a little less severe than prednisone because I didn't have many bad side effects besides having too much energy that led to decreased sleep. I had great sleep quality however. I also felt on top of the world and started dieting and exercising. I could feel myself decreasing in energy as I was tapering off the medication in the last week, and now I'm to having a mind that isn't as clear. I feel as unhappy and insecure as I was before, and my overthinking is back to where it was. My skin is going back to its state before the medication due to scratching, and I hate it. I want to feel great again...
