I had the Flu the week leading into Christmas. I was coughing so hard I ended up going to an ER. They gave me a heavy dose of steroids to ease the coughing. But what they failed to do, and I had to figure out on my own, is that the major side effect of this steroid is insomnia. It's not like regular insomnia, I got 1 hour of sleep. I ended up going back to the ER the day after Christmas and told the Doctor, and he said "Yeah they absolutely should have told you that you won't sleep."

@kjs831 I had to take steroids for 10 days one time because I had a bad case of poison ivy. I felt like I was wired and full of energy night and day, so I understand about the lack of sleep when taking them. But I think they told me about it so at least I was prepared.
