It is normal to feel fatigued after treatment for a few days, but I think your symptoms may well be related to you corticosteroids. People experience strange feelings on Decadron, such as insomnia, restlessness, and irritability. In any case, your symptoms will likely improve with time and as you are weaned off. If you are not feeling better soon, please get in touch with your physicians and have them evaluate your condition.
