Susan M,
I am now on only Herceptin and have started to have some depression. Not extreme, just feel sad most of the time. I don't know if it is everything I've been through this past year coming to a head or a Herceptin side effect.
This week I started taking Lexapro, don't really feel any different yet but I think it takes some time to work.
My onc. suggested I take something to help. He said it's like giving my mind a rest.
I'm not the kind of person to get "down in the dumps" about anything. I guess my head just needs a break.
I am trying to get back to my workout routine, as I'm a personal trainer and this time away from my regular workouts does make a huge difference in how I feel physically as well as mentally.
I hope you can find something that helps.
