This is a common side effect. All steroids can effect mental status - most of us have heard of "steroid rage" - fortunately the mental effects for most people is less severe. Sleep disturbances and other mental effects such as mood swings and impulsive behavior are common. These effects are time and dose-related, meaning they'll diminish with time. Medrol (methylprednisolone) effects should have cleared after one week, however you may be more susceptible to the effects than others. Give it some time, it'll clear up soon.
I hope this helps.

steroids have a lot of side effects...weight gain, moodiness, edgy/cranky, stomach upset, and if you are on them a long time, acne, bone wasting...
steroids given in a dose pak like the one that you took load the system and that is why the tapering dose, so that you do not go off of them cold turkey and give you body a chance to adjust to the decreasing dose...the dose that you took is MUCH more than the body would manufacture automatically...
