I was on steroids and antibiotics for a week, i finished yesterday but i've felt terrible since taking them and worse since stopping. is this normal?

Steroids: I assume you were placed on antibiotics and steroids for asthmatic bronchitis (coughing and wheezing). Hopefully the antibiotics eliminated any serious infection. Patients on steroids can feel weakness due to steroid withdrawal. This usually last only one to three days and then the patients feels well again. If not please see you physician again.
