Wondered if others have had any side effects like this don’t really want to start on new meds , due to be on it for 10 years . Struggling hoping it will pass .
Hi
I'm sorry to read that you've found that increasingly you're getting side effects from taking Tamoxifen.
I don't have any experience with this drug to share with you but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Replying to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the page where it'll hopefully be seen by someone who has the experience you need.
While you're waiting to see if you get any replies you could type 'tamoxifen' into the search bar in this group to read previous posts about this drug as I think it's a topic that comes up frequently.
When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
