Is her anxiety and depression due to post transplant medications like
Prednisone?
I am wondering because I suffer from anxiety and depression and am on the
kidney transplant list. Any added anxiety and/or depression really worries
me.
Beau

I remember the first year of my current transplant.

I was so "buzzed" by the mega doses of Prednesolone that I had a real
problem concentrating on any one thing.

I splet two hours a day and spent 4 hours at the gym daily to expend all
this energy.

Needless to say, I went from 55kg to 85 kg in 4 months.

I was also very energetic personality-wise but couldn't maintain and would
suddenly lapse into a silent moody behaviour.

It was a very strange time. One minute I would be the life of the party, the
next cowering in a corner looking for some peace and quiet.

Your wife may be suffering from some kind of anxiety over worrying that the
kidney will fail. These anxieties may be increased by the meds.

Just be there for her and wait for her to get used to the new situation.

Good luck.
