Hi everyone, just wondered if any one else has struggled to sleep since starting to take Tamoxifen tablets. I just don't sleep at night any more, unless I take sleeping tablets. I lay there night after night wide awake. In the end I get up and do the housework. was ironging at 4.30am the other day! Thanks
Hi Ali789, i also have problems sleeping on tamoxifen, sometimes im up all night and sometimes get intermittent sleep. I have found using lavender pillow mist is good (body shop) and there is a balm called badgers sleep balm which is very relaxing. I also try and walk a couple of times a day to tire me out but doesnt really work. I hope you can find a pattern that suits you. Best of luck.
Lils. Xx
