I was just prescribed Sterapred DS 10mg for my asthma and I'm on my second day of taking it. I've already noticed some increased appetite and trouble sleeping. Has anyone else had issues with these side effects? How bad does it get? I'm a bit worried about the more serious side effects listed, like mood changes and high blood sugar. It's a bit scary to think about. How common are these side effects? Any tips for managing them?
