Finished my last chemotherapy for breast cancer some eight weeks ago for the last six weeks I have had bad anxiety some days are better than others

One day I think it has gone next day it’s back.Have seen NHS doctor Private doctor Macmillan counsellor and private physiotherapist the only thing that helps

for a few hours is a 5mg diazepam I was taking 3 a day have now cut back to 1 or at the most 2 a day the doctor will not give me any more.

I have been taking 150mg Venlafaxine for years he is now changing me to Escitiopram starting on 5mg Escitopram 75mg Venlafaxine before switching to

10mg Escitopram I started the change 10 days ago.

This is all getting me down has anyone one else had ending chemo giving this extra anxiety.

I am starting 15 radiation sessions on Wednesday but not worried about this.

Any help please 

Many thanks Bernard
