How would you adjust the steroid dose for steroid-induced psychosis in a patient being treated for secondary HLH with the HLH-94 protocol?

If disease status allows weaning, we slowly wean per recommendations in HLH94. If they need steroids because of significant hyperinflammation that is damaging, then we add risperidone, which generally works very well.
