GS Trial/help????

OK,  I took my meds. I called my Tx support friend and she  aid I had to. I did but I feel so defeated.  Only 4.5 more weeks to go and I am having a melt down.  Did anyone take anything (Rx) for the headaches/tension?  What about to focus,....like to go to work?  Please let me know if I am not the only one who thinks she needs Rx help to get through these next 4 wks.  .

I am going to try and do whatever it takes to make it to the finish line.  Contacting Clinical Director/Dr./PCP today.  Thank you again for your support. You guys are awesome.  I picture you both as comforting Teddy Bears.  ??? Beyondmwd

I am on week 22 and have had some bad moments.  Took tylenol extra strength which the trial nurse said was preferable to Advil. Also taking a anti depressant. You are so near the end and it will be over and you undetected.

Hi,
Me again. I am glad you took your meds. Are you taking Tylenol? Most of the people I know did take it during treatment. I cannot take it and I took Motrin. I never took more that 3 per day but they helped a lot. Are you taking an anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medication? Some of the people on the site here did and so did I. I took an antidepressant which I started just before tx. You need to talk to your doctors about this, there should be something they can give you to help you get through the last few weeks of this. Please get in touch with your doctor's office so they can get you something to help. Don't try to do this anymore on your own. Let them know how seriously this is effecting you. Please do that right away and then come back and let us know what happened. Thank you,
G
