Hi Strong Coffee!
Effexor and Pristiq are safe to take whilst on Tamoxifen apparently. I was on Effexor for the seven years I was on Tamoxifen, then I had my ovaries out, mostly due to false positives for possible endometrial cancer and side effects of Tamoxifen. After that, hitting menopause instantly, I switched to an aromatase inhibitor for three years, and am now on Pristiq. I also had a full supportive medical team that included a psychologist and a oncology massage therapist. Anxiety and depression have been long term issues for me, and dealing with breast cancer and other physical health problems have really tested my mental health along the way.
Hope you are going well.
