Brenda What meds is Nick on? Does he take pred? When my son tried this, it made him get very angry. I realise your son may have inherited or developed moods or learnt from your husband but as he seems to get very upset, my son did this too. In the end my son refused to take pred due to the way it made him feel.  I really think different steroids affect people in different ways....... I have read of others who have had this experience with pred, I think it even affected Danny when he once took it.  How is Nick doing, is he feeling any better?
