I didn't have any panic attacks. But if you stopped taking them but are thinking that you will now get a recurrence, I can see how that might influence your mental health. I did stop having creaking bones though, which was fantastic.
I would see if your doctor can give you something to keep you calm while you are withdrawing from the drug and hopefully you will be able to get through this anxious period.
Finally I get some time and the inclination to check my emails. I'm sorry to hear you had anxiety panic attacks while on Tamoxifen. I sympathise with you as I've had to come off those too. I was crippled up with side-effects such as foggy head, headache, disorientation, loss of balance, panic attacks, extreme anxiety, increased bone pain and muscle pain then vaginal dryness and itchiness and more other weird side-effects. My Oncologist understood my dilemma and took me off them especially as I'm post-menopausal anyway...Sadly I could not get on with the next hormone therapy Letrozole, the side-effects on that one is slightly milder so I had to come off that one too. So now I am concentrating on getting my immune system functioning better with good supplements tablets e.g Vit.C, B12, Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium. So now I pray for the best outcome when I will have my one year review & mammogram in August since lumpectomy & Radiotherapy.
Keep positive, Look after your health as best as you can,Â
