Prednisone for asthma,triggering mental side effects (suicidal, mood swings). dr gave 5 days worth. i cant continue. is it ok to stop after one day?

Pred side effects: Hi. Prednisone can have psychological effects. How is your breathing? Have you ever been intubated for your asthma? Do you have your asthma meds (glucocorticoid & beta-2 agonist inhalers?). Talk to your doctor. It may be OK to either stop or lower the dose for the rest of the course of prednisone. Don't forget, the outcome is the same whether you kill yourself or die from asthma. Be safe. Good luc
