469905 tn?1214169181 These reactions may indeed be due to Herceptin and I believe that your doctor should be informed about this. You may be given additional anti-allergy medications and steroids before or after the treatment with Herceptin. Make sure also that the involved skin areas are moisturized, since dry cracking skin may promote further rash formation. Regards and God bless.
82861 tn?1333453911 m sorry to hear about your mother. The concern over steroids comes from several angles. First, steroids are very unpredictable; one never knows who will get real 'loopy' on them and who won't. Some people get severely depressed and suicidal; others become manic and out of control; others become psychotic. These psychiatric effects can occur immediately, or after weeks of treatment.
Avatar m tn She told me that prednisone can bring on a psychotic phase in normal people and with a pre-existing condition it can be really ugly. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?
Avatar f tn I had a boyfriend back in Febuary and he was a youth pastor. We didnt have sex but we kissed. April 12 I noticed some pain in my mouth and I thought it was pain from my wisdom teeth being romoved. I went to the dentist and he said it was canker sores, but it was a huge cluster of them. He gave me some mouthwash to numb my mouth to help me eat and not to be in so much pain. I got too the point where it was too painful so I went to the emergency room, they gave me steroids ( Medrol dose pack).
Avatar n tn I also have had anxiety and depression issues flare up earlier this summer. I was given a new antidepressant and anti psychotic, and was feeling almost normal, when I came down with a sinus infection. On Monday, I went to the doctor. I was given a sinus cocktail shot, which contains benadryl and steroids, and cefzil which is an antibiotic. By Tues afternoon, I was starting to feel nervous and antsy. Now, Wed morning, I am very sleepy, shaky, crying and feel like I am jumping out of my skin.
12268405 tn?1427853361 On April 2nd I made the decision to admit myself to a psychiatric hospital due to a psychotic episode. The thing that I'm having the hardest time comprehending is if I induced the episode or not. I convinced myself that I was covered in fleas, I heard voices saying my name and calling me worthless in the past, & I experienced paranoia. I don't know what to think right now. I wish I could know if I made the symptoms worse or not...

Avatar m tn my 22 year old son just experienced a psychotic break. I need to understand how he was feeling. Is there anyone who has personally experienced this, and would be willing to describe what you felt? I am desperate to understand what he is going through.
Avatar n tn 5 which I feel fine.. As of late I have been waking up with what my friend believes is psychotic episodes, moments of ultra confusion for me as I usually have no recolection. It is now getting to the point where I could hurt myself as I thrash about and walk into walls. I had a CT Scan which showed no problem. These attacks which I thought where TIA"s (Transient ischaemic attacks) mini strokes if you like proved otherwise..
Avatar f tn Not every breakdown is psychotic. I had a complete mental breakdown about 16 years ago or so which lead to 3 years of crushing depression - my illness course leaves me prone to this type of breakdown. However not being on meds? Dont know - i went nearly 15 years not on meds and i thought i was fine until I wasnt and went psychotic manic, so you might be fine for a long time as well. And I wasnt fine, I was hypomanic and looking back had at least 3 mini breakdowns and burnouts in that time.
Avatar f tn I am currently recovering from a severe depression with suicide ideation in which i apparently had psychotic symptoms. Has anyone else had psychosis without knowing what it was until speaking to your therapist about what was going on? and does anyone have any advice as to what to look for in oneself when psychosis starts?
Avatar m tn My pdoc yesterday told me it's possible to have a psychotic break from too severe anxiety. This scares me bad, what is that? Does that mean I'll go crazy and hurt someone? Myself? Has anyone ever had one of these? Also is there anyone here that has had several months of severe anxiety, then slowly goes back to several months of calm? I'm afraid this feeling will last forever. Just to make sure I'm experiencing this "anxiety" what does it feel like to u all?

2207073 tn?1338931916 t sound right. Steroids cause a LOT of reactions, usually BAD! So may be that. Steroids caused my 6 yr. old to enter puberty during Decadron treatments, but he was on MASSIVE doses! He began getting erections, and looking at Victorias Secret! (the closest thing to girly magazines I HAD!). He eventually had a psychoses from the steroids, and I can't bear to look at pictures of him during this period! He gained about 30+ lbs in a second!
Avatar f tn t figure out but after a lumber puncture and MRI scan they found that I had left optic neuritis. They gave me steroids for three weeks and my sight is fine now but they never found the cause behind it. Fast forward 5 years and at the beginning of the August I got chickenpox for the first time and because I'm not a child anymore it was so much more severe.
Avatar f tn Yes I have gotten this with my first son who was born at 33 weeks 4 days and I went in About a week and a half ago for preterm labor then I was 30 weeks 5 days and they gave them to me then as well but they were able to stop my progression I'm on bed rest at home now ..
