Default Different side-effects prednisone IV and oral

Hi there!
I wondered if some of you experienced a difference in the side-effects of Prednisone taken orally in tablets, or getting it in a high dose iv.

I've experienced a steroid psychosis at the relatively low dose of 20 mg a day. This was on the tablets, and happened after a being 10 - 12 months on that dosage.
Now, it seems like I need a prednisone IV for a few days on a high dosage (not sure how much nor how long but way over 20 mg a day).

Suffice to say, this scares me. I can't find anything on side effects of IV vs side effects of taking the pills long term. Is it to be expected that my minds goes crazy again? And even more because the dosage is much more?
Or will side-effects be different with IV pred?
Thanks
