I suffered terrible anxiety while on Herceptin that was not helped with any drugs prescribed by a psychiatrist. (I was on Herceptin for 52 weeks.)In retrospect, I think the anxiety was caused by the Herceptin.  The anxiety started about 3 weeks after starting the Herceptin and started to go away about 3 weeks after I finished treatment.Has anyone else suffered anxiety as a side effect?

    I haven't heard of anxiety as a side effect.  Although the whole process is rather anxiety producing.  Have you checked the Herceptin side effect thread?   Also there is another website specifically about herceptin, that might be a better source of info.  Sorry I don't remember the URL.
