Anxiety affecting my day to day life

I was diagnosed with BC November 2014.  After 8 months of treatment I am now NED.  I continue treatment now with herceptin and hormone therapy. I had issues with anxiety before I was diagnosed but I now I feel worse then ever before.  Anxiety is dramatically affecting my day to day life. My GP has prescribed medication but I have not started taking it yet. I would love some  feedback on from others who have been or are on medication for anxiety at the moment.  Does it really help?        Lorraine

    Hello Lorraine

    I have been on Zoloft (I think thats the name) a couple of times.  And yes the medications are marvellous.  It takes about 2 weeks to feel the full benefits.  I find that I only need to stay on them 2-3 mths, they just get me out of that hole or relentless circle of worrying.  Don't really know how they work, but that "worry"part of your brain is deadened.   

    Keep well  Pam
