I Ve Pred Medicine Function

I have been on prednisolone for 5 weeks. Started with 25mg for 2 weeks (I felt amazing on this dose), then tapered down to 15mg for a week and a half when I had a flare up of my condition, and my surgeon told me to increase to 50mg. That was rough. I was so angry inside and had no control over my emotions. I was on 50mg for a week. I’ve now tapered back to 25mg for a couple of weeks. It’s now day 6 of the lower dose. The first couple of days, I was an emotional mess, couldn’t stop the tears. I couldn’t function. The surgeon had told me I’d have a rough couple of days and he wasn’t wrong.

I have a chronic eye disease called Uveitis.. My eye doctor wants to put me on a drug called CellCept.. He says he hopes to use CellCept to keep my eye stable. The problem and fear that I have is that I am a Benzodiazepine and anti-depressant addict, I take them to go to sleep.. 10mg Diazepam and 30mg of Mirtazepine. When they put me on Predisolone they said there wouldn't be any interaction, and there was. I was a total mess on Preds, maybe due to the combination. Couldn't function, couldn't walk, just a mess! Since coming off Preds my health has improved. I'm very worried about starting CellCept.. I'm worried about getting PML (Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy). I'm very fearful that maybe due to the fact I'm taking Diazepam and Mirtazepine that b...
