Just started 40mg prednisone

Hi, I was just diagnosed with Crohn's disease and started on 40mg of prednisone (20 mg, twice a day) yesterday. All of yesterday and today so far I've been feeling pretty foggy headed and distracted. Things feel kinda slow motion sometimes. I didn't notice this on the list of common side effects, so I thought I'd ask about it. Anyone else get this? I'm hoping it goes away since I'm not sure how I'll be able to concentrate for my classes.

Made me a little foggy at first, but then it made me really hyped up. Anxious, jittery and had difficulty sleeping. I also had a very hard time tapering off.
It helped though, a necessary evil....
