Has anyone experienced anxiety after starting hormone therapy?

Hi ,
As regards to anxiety.
After my 26 radiation treatments I’m about 4 weeks into the side effects portion of my recovery.
I found myself with high anxiety during the last 4 weeks and having trouble sleeping my Primary Care prescribed Zoloft and another sleep enhancing medication.
Both seem to be working.
I realize that most of my adult life I’ve been anxious but prostate cancer took it to another level.
Hope this helps you.

Thank-You for your reply. I am glad to see I am not the only one. I have been off hormone therapy for 5 months & still have anxiety especially in the morning. I am on Cymbalta which is an SNRI & gabapentin. That seems to help. I walk in the morning & afternoon . Like all of us we just want to get back to feeling like our normal selves.
