Seda,

As you move through treatment you will find you will need more and more rest. Feeling tired right out of the gate is not that unusual and your anxiety is probably taking as much a toll on you as the treatments themselves.

I checked the prescription my GP gave me and low and behold it was Zanax.. He let me know that I would be having the same moments you are having. He gave me an Rx at 25 mg. He told me to take one when I felt the need and two if one was not cutting it.

I don�t know what your dosage level is but you might want to consider taking less more often if your pills are 50 mg.. You can cut the pill in half. This might help with the anxiety while not putting you to sleep.
