Thanks so much to all of you. I find it very helpful to be able to post here and be understood.
I will follow the advice to keep on with the fluoxetine. I get a few hives when I increase the dose but if it improves my mood then I can bare the hives and just take antihistamines to counteract the itchiness. I get a worse skin problem with anything over 25 mg Zoloft so that is not an option as I don't think it is therapeutic at that dose.
Phillipa there is quite a lot of support for women with breast cancer where I live in Australia. However I am single with no direct relatives. My sister is here from Canada at the moment but she is returning soon so I will be going through the radiotherapy with the support of only neighbours and friends, but I think I should get through it fine.
I'm finding exercise helps. And yes I have some Valium so I use that when I need it. Usually about2mg during the day. From reading posts here it is reassuring to note that it is not always as addictive as doctors lead you to believe. I also have some Temazapam so took that last night at 2 am and went back to sleep. Feeling better today. I just have to accept that I will have good and bad days
Thanks for your support. I really appreciate itGerri
