When first diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, I cried easily. My doctor prescribed Xanax because it can be taken as needed, not necessarily everyday. I told my husband, “if I cry, I’m taking one”. This got me through the initial fear and sadness.
My integrative doctor also recommends L-theanine, an amino acid that you can purchase at your health food store. It helps with anxiety and mood.
Best wishes to all on this thread, Cindy
