A member asked:
Taking prednisone, flovent, and nasonex: too much steroids? this caused depression? or likely due to singulair? dr. prescribe lexapro (escitalopram). good idea?

A lot of med: It is not the Flovent or Nasonex (mometasone) but the oral Prednisone which is of concern. Prednisone usually makes people feel good but may induce depression in a few. Singulair rarely causes mental issues. It appears that you may have steroid-resistant asthma and i think it is time for you to consult an allergist. A drug reaction is best treated by stopping the drug and not with another drug.
