I'm sorry I didn't respond; I didn't get a notification that there was a new post of this thread.

Maybe she feels more anxious with the people she cares about because it is hard for her to let you see her this way? I have refused visitors in the hospital because I know I wouldn't be able to act as bad as I feel when they are there.

Trying to escape a moving car is another story and I don't know why she might have done that. Fear of a new situation maybe? It can be hard to get used to the hospital doing things one way and then have that change at another.

It also takes time for meds to leave the body and new ones build up and sometimes side effects are weird. This sounds like more than side effects but they are always a possibility.

I hope that she finds help soon. This sounds miserable for her and for you.
