A member asked:

I've taken so many medications like effexor, adderal etc with endless listed side effects. so my question is how much worse can steroids be?

Risks and benefits: How much steroids need to be prescribed in your case and why? Discuss risks and benefits of taking it in your case and then decide. Good luck

Steroids?: Not indicated for the treatment of anxiety, depression or ADHD- certainly will not help unless you have an underlying lack of pituitary stimulation or metabolic issues.
