Hi,
I have been on zoladex since september 2022 and started on letrozole March 2023. Now stopped zoladex and letrozole has switched to tamoxifen a few weeks ago. I am 35 so pre menopausal. Ever since starting the letrozole and still now on the tamoxifen I often feel really sad and tearful with no obvious trigger. Or I will feel panicky and a dread sort of feeling and feel like I get sensory overload in busy environments and can't think straight much of the time. Do the symptoms get milder or is this kind of how things are now?
Apologies I've only just seen his Fiona_C22 . I have found the Accord brand works best for me, but I only had around 4 different brands from my pharmacy so some may work better for you. I took notes, and I also took a note of all of their ingredients. I found the ones with fewer ingredients were better
Sorry to hear this, I’ve just changed to venlafexine for moods and to help with hot flashes and although I have bad days it does help. I’m also on tamoxifen and the Zoladex injection but I’m finding I’m suffering with really bad insomnia. I’ve read it’s a side effect of Zoladex just wondering has anyone else had this symptom? Nothing worse than lying there at night and not able to sleep, anyone any suggestions to help?
