I was in the hospital for a week and the Dr. had me on steroids and now I have to keep taking them to get off them slowly I am also on the patch.My boyfriend and i have had several arguments in the past few days.He is still smoking but outside.Will the bad moods go away when I stop using the steroids and have been off the cigarettes for a while.I would guess your doctor has you on prednisone. Prednisone is a strong steroid that will help with inflammation of your bronchial tubes. It has some noticeable side effects. First off weight gain you may gain 10 pounds or more while on this drug. Next dramatic mood swings. The times my doctor put me on prednisone I was unbearable and only had negative and downright mean thoughts. Please, talk with your boyfriend about your breathing medication and its side effects and let him know for awhile you are not being yourself so try to cut each other a lot of slack.Steroids can do that, as can stopping smoking. Is it possible you could use some nicotine gum? That might help you a little. Good luck on your stopping smoking!
