At first I said no because I didn't want to be on antidepressant and the AI I started w was Anastrozole. I felt terrible on that and was so emotional. So dr switchdd me to Exemestane and i agreed to the Effexor. My emotions felt better within 2 days. I think I was starting to feel depression but i didnt want to admit it or be on an antidepressant.
Now i realize that if i have to live w " a new" me i have to do things i may not like to do but have to do to get through each day. I try to stay positive but I tell my husband often thst I hate the new me. I'm only 44 and have no sex drive. This journey is hard. I wish everyone the best.
