What causes severe depression after receiving a Methylprednisone shot?
human
Received methylprednisone injection one month ago for severe back pain. since then, i have been more depressed. BUT, the worst is a flea-like rash, mostly below the waist, along with bruising in the area of the bumps. It s terribly itchy. I m miserable. Any suggestions?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Steroids are known to cause depression. For the rash you should consult a dermatologist and for your depressive symptoms a psychiatrist. If I am your doctor, I would start you on Cap. Prozac and Clonazepam. If your sleep is disturbed,these are prescription only drugs,kindly consult a psychiatrist. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
