I have taken Tamoxifen for 5 years just coming off it past 4 weeks and I don't feel well off my food can't sleep properly short tempered and anxious. Is this normal coming off tamoxifen?
Hi pat2 welcome to the forum. I haven't heard of that happening, but others will be along who may have experienced this. However, I wonder if it it possible its because what has given you re-assurance for 5 years (Tamoxifen) has now been stopped. Is it possible thats what is causing the anxiety, short tempered and not sleeping properly? I dont know if thats what could be happening but just putting it out there as a possibility . Whats your thoughts?
Sorry you are feeling poorly. I don’t know your age but could you starting to go through menopause?
Hugs to you.
Barbara
