Emotional Rollercoaster

After 6 months of ADT and the RB surgery, and more, I found that I was very emotional and teared up too often, which was not my style. Also sleep disorder. My GP prescribed Trazodone which helped me with both issues. Time also helps, 30 months now past all treatment and meds. It used to be staying alive was a slam dunk but now it requires more effort. I’m G9, CR, incurable, advanced, aggressive etc here so I am sure of issues in the future but presently ok. Good luck

I've been on ADT for 11 months now and have found that my emotions are extremely sensitive the longer I'm on ADT. I can cry at the drop of a hat (TV commercials, movies, or talking with someone about sensitive issues) at least once or twice a day. I try to control it when others are around by stopping the conversation or apologizing for it. I understand the cause to be that the ADT is taking away my T which makes me more emotional. Hey, it is what it is - not sure there is a cure or medication to address it.
