Medrol Dose Pak - Major Emotional Issues!

My husband is having severe mood swings, anxiety attacks, insomnia, and generally not acting right after taking 3 1/2 days of Medrol dose pak. (Note: his is/has been taking Fluvoxamine for several years due to "emotional" problems after several strokes.) He will not agree to go back to the doctor, and when I call the doctor they give me no advice over the phone. I told them I can not get him to go, they said well keep us posted. Any suggestions??

Hello, Dempsey! How are you? I am so sorry about what you're husband is going through.

Yes, that can happen, when someone takes steroids, other side effects as listed by the FDA may possibly include nausea, headache, acne and fluid retention.

However, things should improve, once he finishes his course of treatment with it, it may take about a week or so for everything to go away.

If he gets dangerous or suicidal, then please seek medical attention immediately.

Is there anything else I can help with?
