Yes, I'm back.  I responded to your other post about where I've been - thanks very much for missing me - I feel so loved!!!  I have been soooooo busy lately that I haven't had a chance to check in, but I really learn alot here and hope that I help alot here, so I will make it a priority to check in more often.  Will update soon on my most recent experiences; I actually have a pretty serious health condition that is not related to anxiety, but really is real! Not real fun though.  Gotta go now, but will let you all know tomorrow. Thanks again.  Best.......

The prednisone would certainly cause your jitters - how long have you been taking it?  If you're prescription is almost up with that, I'd wait and see if it is the prednisone before you change your celexa.  The prednisone should be a short-term steroid for your asthma and I assume you're only taking it for the most 2 weeks.

I now have a script for prednisone for my neck issues and am scared to death to get it filled b/c of the jitters it has caused me in the past, but I will iknow it is the prednisone if that happens as I've been pretty good since I went back on the zoloft a couple months ago.  Prednisone will also cause weight gain and hair growth - it is a steroid.  Best.......

I don't know much about your question, but I do know that anytime I've tried an anti-anxiety med, it has made me "shaky" and "jittery".  Could that be a side effect from the Celexa?  Just a thought.  I'm sure you'll get some good responses from others.
