I use flax in sauces, bread, salads and cereals. I put mine in a pepper mill and grind...

My ex-boyfriend is bi-polar, so I know manic episodes very intimately. You should not feel funny about it or talking about it. It is a disease just like bc, and it is interfering in your treatment.

When I first started tamoxifen, I found myself having severe manic episodes, depression and overwhelming suicidal thoughts. My onc prescribed zoloft. It took 2 weeks, and I remember the exact moment the zoloft kicked in. It was like a moment of clarity. I am on femara now and continue to take zoloft so not to make waves...I am glad your taking the initiative in your care. If your doc thinks you read too much, you may want to consider finding a new doc. This is stuff he/she should be telling you about.

I have no advise to offer, but just wanted to let you know we are all here to support you...
