sounds to me she is just taking a long time to adapt to her new cage. My suggestion, leave her alone completely for a couple weeks. Just feed and clean her cage, but don't handle her at all. You can talk to her a bit etc. After a few weeks, go back to handling her briefly, for only a few minutes. Then put her back. As she adjusts to short periods of handling, you can increase the time.

If food intake decreases when you start handling again, maybe cut it back again.

Too much stress can cause health problems and its best to isolate all causes of stress and remove them. Also, at her age, dragons can get into strange mood swings which may pass in a few weeks as well.
