Hate to say it but I went through the same thing as you. I finished treatment and expected things to start getting better but the menopause and fatigue from rads left me pretty angry. My poor kids and husband! I knew that it wasn't me and it wasn't the new me that I wanted. My onc prescribed Prestiq and after about a month of taking it my moods panned out - not so high or low, the tears stopped and I was so angry all the time. I took it for 6 months until I was ready to stop them, it took a couple of months to come off them but I have been feeling good. I catch myself every now and again getting worked up over nothing so I am consciously trying to let the little things go. It does get better with time, my flushes have settled a lot but I not a bucket of sweat like I used to be. My girlfriends laugh when I have a flush and I just go with it and say 'your time will come' I will have the last laugh!
