I am so sorry this has happened to your mom. It sounds like it turned from psychosis to bi polar. The good news it is should reverse when the steroids leave her system. How long that can take can not be known for sure. it is relative to dose of steroids, duration of steroids and the persons size and metabolism. That said it should be getting better by now. As you have learned the doctors(especially the ones that prescribed the steroids) don't like to admit or discuss the damage. Just know that she should be getting better. If they gave her anti anxiety like xanex they have their own side-effects. believe it or not they can sometimes have the very side-effect they are prescribed to help. So make sure to look ay any medications now that she may be taking. You can email me directly if i can be of further assistance.
Nest wishes to you & your mom
