   Now you do. My wife took high doses of prednisone quite a few years   
   back when it was being used to treat multiple sclerosis. It usually   
   worked to knock down an exacerbation, but it made her very speedy,   
   she got little sleep and that made her cranky. Indirect mood effect,   
   I guess.   
      
   But the roid rage being talked about was likely due to longer-term use   
   to aid muscle-building. My wife would be prescribed a four-day   
   course and done.
