Welcome @momandrph048 , when I started on endocrine therapy I went from zero to 100 mg Zoloft. Like @lynnokok that seemed to keep me off of the ledge. I am still on it 19 years later, and thankfully it still works.
I found that walking mitigated almost all of my side effects. Made my joints feel better, cleared my head and helped with anxiety too. It did not really help with the hot flashes. Lol🥵
Have you talked to one of your doctors about this yet?

I have actually talked with my oncologist about it.. she wants me to increase my Effexor, but I’m hesitant because I know it can be a tough drug to discontinue , when the time comes.. I’m also pretty sensitive to side effects of my meds , so I didn’t really want to increase the dose if I could manage another way..
She tells me anxiety is common with these drugs, but that sure doesn’t make it easy!!
