Please let us know how she's doing.  The cancer drugs certainly could be part of it.  My mother-in-law is battling lung cancer and she has a lot of crying jags and anxiety (and she's not generally a crier.)  Hopefully, the doctor will straighten things out and your mom will be feeling better.  

Hope you're doing okay.  It's hard to be a caregiver; so take time for yourself.

She is likely in withdrawal.  Call her doctor and see what they can do to get her feeling better.  Withdrawal is terribly uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous if there are underlying health issues.  In the meantime, make sure she's staying hydrated.  Hope you'll let us know how she's doing.
