Suggest medication for mild anxiety and depression
human
Our son died from cancer 3 weeks ago. My wife is struggling, as am I, but she intends to return to work. I think she may  benefit from some mild anti anxiety med or antidepressant, short term to get her over the hump. Any better than another. She is a office worker. No heavy machinery.

Dear User,Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.I am sorry to know your loss.As you know it is natural to feel sad after the significant loss such as death of son  and nobody is immune from it. However if she is able to function properly to some extent I will recommend no use of any medications.It has been reported that use of tranquilizers during bereavement period prolongs the grief reaction and makes it difficult to achieve normal phase or atleast delays it. In case there is significant problem in functioning a low dose of Klonotril such as 0.25 mg can be used on need basis. I must inform you that it is prescription only medication and you will need to see a doctor to buy it from pharamacy.I hope this helps you.If you need to know more or still have questions have a liberty to ask more.Thanks
