I just want to echo what the others have said. What you describe sounds exactly like what it was like with my husband when he was on prednisone. He was demanding and unhappy about everything, and lashed out at the person closest to him-- me. Of course he felt bad about it, but that didn't keep him from doing it. I tried to tell myself he was just frustrated with his inability to control this disease so he was trying to control the one thing he could-- again, me. We even met with a therapist, which didn't really help at all. I imagine there was some emotional stuff going on, but lo and behold, the irritability miraculously evaporated as soon as he tapered off the drug. What a relief it was to find out we didn't really need couples therapy!
