Anxiety and insomnia are very common side effects of pred. Hope you are able to either find a way to deal with it, lower your dosage or find another way. I'm thinking of using LDN. You can Google that if you like. Very successful with PMR and for most, no or very gentle side effects.

you will have to let us know how it does. I had asked a question, I think on the facebook page, if anyone had tried LDN. Over whelming response was it helped. Of course not everyone. But it seems MTX has more that it doesnt help than it does. LDN is also a fairly inexpensive drug that they use for other conditions. Few side effects. I am not sure why that is not mentioned more as a first line of defense.
