needed antianxiety meds.? Should I ask my doctor for a prescription? I can't sleep and I'm a nervous wreck! I have always had anxiety.

oh yeah. Discuss an anti depressant, and anti anxiety, a sleep aid, and your team of docs should have a psych. These are things you need. It will help you relax and allow your body to heal a lil better.

I would you have a lot to cope with, call the Dr. God Bless I sure hope you go into remission soon.

If you need this, your Dr will prescribe them.

Many cancer patients feel anxious, have sleep problems etc.

Some need medication, others use meditation, others just seem to cope.

I was automatically given a prescription for medication to help me sleep, it is still sitting in my 'memory box' of things from when I was ill, as I was lucky enough not to need it.

My oncologist looked at me strangely when I refused a repeat prescription - but then she found it unusual I refused the anti-nausea drugs as well!

With the health condition that you have I would think that your doctor would be more than willing to give you something for the anxiety. I take something occasionally and I am not sick but it takes the anxiety away. Talk to your doctor. I think he will be willing to give you something. Good luck....
