What are the potential side effects of an overdose of prednisone in a 10 year old child weighing 80 pounds?
Overdose can be for either one day or several days. A high dose for one day should have minimal effects. Occasional people get confused and there is an occasional person who actually can become psychotic, although this is rare. Huge doses of steroids are usually tolerated without any special problem other than difficulty sleeping. Long term use of high doses is another matter.
