Dear anyone on Tamoxifen
I've been on Tamoxifen since October, and realised since starting it, 1. my exercise tolerance has reduced drastically (I was active and excecise every day) which is frustrating but also 2. I'm so irritable (anything will set me off so my poor family are getting the bear with the sore head 90% of the time) I really hate myself for being so irritable so angry and regret being that person as soon as I've had my outburst or been annoyed but I cant seem to stop it..
i3. ve also noted that since I've started the meds (post RT and WLE ) my appetite has increased - once I start eating io cant stop and I think about food constantly. I've put on bit of weight and that makes me more miserable which impacts above - feeling irritable etc.
I'm posting here as I just wondered if anyone has felt like like this and what did they do?
I dont want to have more tablets on top of the T if I can and I consider stopping it to see if I can be the nicer person that I used to be AND. stop thinking bout food every second but that feels like giving up - so not sure what my options are
- does it ever get better?
- what do people do to help any / all of the above ?
thanks
Hi SH1
I can't really help with your query about irratibility - I guess that is the oestrogen leaving your body. Food - unfortuanately, same for me with Anastrozole, can't help with that either as I ended up putting on weight. But, just in case any other ladies are around now who can help, I noticed your post had slipped to the 2nd page, so by answering I'm bumping it back to page 1.
Hopefully someone can help!
Kindest wishes, Lesley
