Prednisone - dealing with side effects - i feel awful!

Maria

I just started a 3 week course of oral prednisone for an inflammatory eye condition. I'm already and anxious and emotional person, and I know that prednisone can alter your mood. I feel like I can't tell what's just me and what part of my feelings is caused by prednisone. Plus I'm weak and tired but it's so hard to actually fall asleep. any of you ladies been on the pred before? how do you cope with side effects?
