I had to take decadron for approximately two months due to a brain met. I was up most of the time for about 45 days straight. Although I enjoyed getting a lot of work done around the house initially, I became cranky etc. I think I should have gotten that t-shirt that reads "I'm talking and I can't shut up" during that period. I also gained a lot of weight and had a moon face. After I was weaned off of the decadron I experienced a couple of weeks of the total opposite - was tired and somewhat depressed. I have lost all the weight I gained during that period and my mood, sleep, etc. is back to normal. Good luck.
