Tamoxifen Brands, which is best for you.

Started tamoxifin 12 months ago and still get different brands every month, yes you get side effects lack of sleep, sweats  etc but i personally feel i would be swapping to different side effects if i moved to another drug,i too was on amitriptyline for really severe  pain which did nothing, gave up after 2months as i hate taking meds.the joys of BC is endless but i dont know any advise and i truly believe the medics dont know which drugs to give out which could solve all our problems,kind regards

Hi, I swapped from Letrozole as Tamoxifen is kinder to the bones, (I already had mild osteoporosis) for the last 2 years of my 5 on oestrogen busting meds. Yes, hot flushes increased for a while, and I still get them (useful in this cold spell!) but otherwise no extra problems. I began taking Loratidine for bone/joint pain and take a selection of vitamin//mineral supplements with my teams approval. I’m also taking CBD oil for back pain as I’ve a very longstanding spinal problem. 

I’d advise talking to your team at length, side effects are present for all medication we take, nothing seems to come for free! But my feelings are that this is keeping me free of recurrence, and that’s what it’s about.
