HI Thanks for posting your query .
Yes Methylprednisolone does have side effects but it depends on how long you are taking it . Though it has no major interactions with anti depressant medication the drug by itself can cause depression or mood swings .
Kindly let me know what duration it has been prescribed so that I can advise you better .
