If the chemo & sickness can’t be depressing enough, I’ve found that the side effects of some of the drugs can alter your mood. I wound up being uncharacteristically angry & intolerant and eventually realized that 3 of my meds could affect my mood. I got better as I eventually was weaned off the meds. I read the med side effects and hi lighted every one that I may have for each med. I saw that many side effects were similar and probably increased by the multiple drugs. It explained several things that I was going through.
