I have a 3 yr old with complex needs and a rare form of epilepsy.
He was given 3 days of prednisolone (10mg). He started to act strange after a couple of days and we spent a night in hosp as he was in such a bad way. He has found it almost impossible to sleep ( 6 hrs or so in 72 in short
bursts). He has been hyper when awake and keeps suddenly starting to scream and appear terrified for no apparent reason. It is like he is on drugs and suffering withdrawal.
The hosp dont seem to think it is to blame but he has not been right since he took it. It seems to come in waves of euphoria followed by complete distress and terror with nothing calming him.
He stopped taking it on monday and has been a bit better today but i am wondering if anyone else has any experience of this and if so how long was it until things settled down again.
I so wish i had never let him have it and would not touch it again unless it was life and death.
