I was doing okay—and by “okay,” I mean as okay as you can be dealing with all of this. But last week I had an allergic reaction and was put on prednisone. I knew it might mess me up, which is why I only took it for about 3½ days.
Since stopping it, things have been really rough. My skin has been itching and burning, my insomnia has gotten intense, and now I’m having panic attacks during the day. It honestly feels like I’m going insane.
What I don’t understand is how I can be this sensitive to everything. It feels like anything—elevation, supplements, certain foods, medications—sets me off. I don’t know what to do anymore.
I’ve been considering taking Trazodone to help with sleep, but I’ve seen mixed opinions. I’ve also thought about trying Trintellix because my quality of life right now feels like it’s just slipping away.
Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s been through something similar or has thoughts on what might help.
