Hi,
From your description, I am of the opinion that it is caused due to an anticholinergic syndrome that you are having. Scopolamine and similar drugs combined with a titrated dosage of prednisolone will definitely help to reduce your symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
