which medication can I take to counteract the effect of prednisone on my nervous syste

| Here is a short story
I was hospitalized for a major sub-occlusion of my intestine due to my crohn
disease which mean a complete blockage of my gastro-intestinal track, can't
ingest anything even water, you vomit it, and no peristaltic movement.
They have put me on solumedrol IV 40mg 4 times daily for 3 weeks
Now back at home I'm on 45 mg prednisone daily.
Prednisone and me have a bad reaction on my nervous system; can sleep at
night, muscles spasm day and night and manic attack during the day and
restlessness. According to my gastroenterologist it is normal symptom in
some patient
I'm taking over 45 mg of prednisone daily and my nervous system feel like he
is plugged on 220 volts all day and I have major insomnia at night and
slight depression effect ( prednisone and me don't mixes too well but I
have no choice)
Doctor have prescribe me 2 mg rivotril 3 times daily 1 to be taken at night
with 30 mg of remeron (mirtazapine), now at least I can sleep at least 6
hours per night instead of 3
But during the day 2mg of rivotril seems to have little to no effect on my
nervous system due to the amount or prednisone I am taking.
Here is my question, will 2 mg rivotril and 1 mg of xanax will help calm me
down so I can function properly.
Is there other medicine I can take that can counteract the effect prednisone
have on my nervous system ?
Right now my nervous system seems like a ticking bomb even on 2 mg rivotril
3 times a day
thank you in advance for any response

| Why would you believe a stranger from the internet as opposed to your
doctor? Yours is an extremely complicated case, which no one in their
right mind would even attempt to address without an MD degree, a patient
history, and an examination.
I think you need to have a long talk with your doctor. Lab people do the
tests the docs order, they don't diagnose. You also might want to have a
chat with a pharmacist, preferably one with hospital experience, and a
Ph.D. after his name.

| MD's are very loathe to put anything in writing on the internet, as it
could possibly be used against them in malpractice suits. I used to
follow another newsgroup (a cancer NG, as I was, for a short time, a CRA
[clinical research associate] for a local medical school's Oncology
department. There was a physician on that group who used to answer all
kinds of questions. However, he announced one day that, upon the advice
of his attorney, he could no longer answer anything online, as it could
be subpoenaed.
If you do want a physician to comment, if indeed there are any that do,
you may want to go to sci.med, as more docs read that newsgroup. I also
used to follow sci.med.pathology, but pathologists do not usually deal
with live patients, but rather tissues and/or deceased persons.
Good luck.
