i have read that prednisone can cause agitation and mood swings. how much and for how long would one need to use this medication in order for such a reaction? meds were used by a 40ish female, with depression and multiple visits to doc's and er, on a short-term basis (1-3 weeks, dosage and diagnosis unknown) 5X in a 4 year period. sorry i don't have all the info, i am just looking for general info for someone who attacked another individual with a hammer and says, "the prednisone made me do it!" i realize everyone reacts differently, but are there any cases where someone wanted to kill another individual?

 Hi Betty-Poopster,
Prednisone can have significant effects on mood. The higher the dose, the more prominent the effect.
The degree to which prednisone affects a person varies from person to person.
Unfortunately, I really can't give you any more specific information about this issue.
Best wishes.
