Hello, I have been on sertraline for nearly 15 years. I

I have had to suddenly stop it in order to begin tamoxifen.

However I am struggling hugely. I feel sick and so down. I am struggling to do anything and just constantly cry.

Has anyone else been through this?

Has anyone got any advice?

    Hi Sunny25, 

    I have been told to take either Tamoxifen or Zoladex - not both.

    I am trying Tamoxifen now I have changed my anti depressant. I don't believe my periods will stop on just this.

    Someone else may be able to help though?

    Best wishes

  • Hey, I’ve been in a similar situation—I had to stop sertraline when I started tamoxifen too. My doctor switched me to escitalopram instead, and honestly, it wasn’t as bad as I feared. The transition was tough at first, but it got better with time. If you’re struggling, definitely talk to your doctor about alternative antidepressants that are safe with tamoxifen. Also, I ordered my Nolvadex (Tamoxifen) from this reliable pharmacy: mastersupplier.net/buy-nolvadex-uk.html, and the quality has always been excellent. Hang in there—you’re not alone! Yellow heart

  • I'm interested in knowing more about this as it's been suggested I try an antidepressants for a while but I'm super sensitive to some and will be starting tamoxifen soon.

  • I’m on both sertraline (50mg daily) and tamoxifen (20mg daily). Think the oncologist discussed it and was comfortable for me to take both at the same time.
