@dolorescole061 My GP has prescribed Cymbalta to counter act the mood swings with prednisone, it also has relieved alot of my pain. There is a 2 -4 week period before your body adjusts and taper off Cymbalta is worse than prednisone taper. But it helped me alot. Ask your rhuematologist. Good luck

@rhonna Morning, FYI- I had mood swings when I was on a certain brand of Prednisone, I was like the wicked witch of the west! 🙁 I discovered this because family said how awful I was. I realized the pharmacy changed the brand. Pharmacist couldn't believe it and couldn't get the original prescription brand. Switched pharmacy and all it MUCH BETTER!.. Couldn't believe it myself but a big difference.
