Specializes in Clinical Psychology

It can: Especially if you notice increased prednisone side effects or the presence of some that had not been there, discuss it w/ your Dr ASAP. Do not stop either on your own, but speak about needs and alternatives. You don't mention the condition being treated, but it must be important for that Rx. Best!
