well I have swcah and i’ve had those very same feelings. I never stopped the meds though. I’m thirty now and only recently got a doctor to finally listen to me about that. they always told me it wasn’t the meds , your eating too much. well, I knew what I weighed before and how I was gaining weight unnaturally. and i knew I wasn’t eating anything either. I kept at them and they finally lowered my dose of dexamethasone and florinef. and discovered i was severly insuline resistant from all the cortisone drugs. they gave me glucophage which is a diabetes medicine. I’ve lost about 50 pounds and haven’t changed much about my eating. and I’m no longer gaining 5 pounds a week eating pretty much nothing. so keep at the doctor’s, sometimes I just don’t know what is wrong with them.
