I feel tired and sad all the time since my diagnosis. can mtx and prednisone make you feel this way?

Treatment effect: Yes. Steroids can affect yr psyche and mental well being. Discuss with your doctor. At age 23, you don't need those 2 meds in my opinion. They can have some serious long term effects.
