Having subjected my dog to steroids a few times, I feel qualified to
reply.  The steroid is probably prednizone, the usual one vets (and MDs)
give.  The reaction you observed is somewhat more severe than normal, but
really nothing out of the ordinary.  There is probably no way to counteract
the reaction now.  However, if you need steroids again, and you will, have
the vet try a different one.  Our dog got rammy after prednizone, but did
OK after whatever he gave her the next time.

Just like people, if there is a problem with the medication, try another.
It might be better, or the side effects less severe.
