A member asked:
My husband had a steroid shot for sinusitis recently and it seemed to cause him to be angry and irritable. is this a common side effect?

The crude term for: This known side-effect of steroids is " ' roid rage." find out the half-life of the injected steroid to determine how long it will last.

Side effect: Steroid can have side effects like a change in personality. It is usually a temporary effect. An adjustment in doseage may decrease side effects.
