I am writing this short diary to ask any readers with medical knowledge (by training or by experience as a patient) to comment on what might happen when Trump’s short course of “feel-good” steroids comes to an end any day now? Right now he’s telling the world he feels 20 years younger — not normally how someone wheezing his way through a bout of COVID feels. Seems the drugs are distorting his reality.
Do people “crash” when the euphoric-causing drug is withdrawn? If there is a crash or withdrawal, how common is it, and what happens? Agitation? Lethargy? Hallucinations? Delusions?
Alternately — what if he browbeats some poor doctor into continuing a drug that makes him feel “20 years younger?” How would that affect his sanity over the next 28 days? If not, what happens to his body and mood when withdrawal reverses his rejuvenation, and he suddenly “ages” 20 years in a few days —that’s gotta be a major downer for someone as vain as Trump.
If your expertise extends beyond “I googled it” please tell the readers here what we might expect from a man who is already an unbalanced lunatic.
