John I noticed that all the patients in the studies tested for low cortisol levels. So that could be why. I personally have taken prednisone for two weeks for same didn't have the bad side effects but also no improvement. I do know that this med long term was responsible for my Mother's death. But I also have no idea how much she was given. It works great for say the bleeding colitis had when pregnant years ago. But I honestly don't think a doc will prescribe this for low term depression. Some it can cause psychosis in. But since we are all different I do hope you can trial it. Phillipa
