CindyLou,

You are not crazy. Anxiety and being anxious are side effects of cortisone. My last cortisone epidural, I was like I had six bottles of Mountain Dew. Also I had difficulty sleeping I was so amped up.
There are several side effects and it seems that the amount of cortisone makes the difference. I have been getting cortisone shots in my right foot and it is only a cc or so and I have no side effects.
But the epidurals/facet blocks just make me really like the Energizer Bunny.
There are other effects too.
