My doctor suspect i have cushings and has gave me 1 dexamethasone to take to test for it. will the pill increase my anxiety/agitation tonitei'm scared?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: You may have anxiety from the Cushing syndrome. A dexamethasone pill should not significantly increase that anxiety. Do not be afraid. Call your doctor and let him or her know how you feel.
