Thanks darl for your lovely response. Sorry to let you down - being all downmouthed! I'm much better now - I suppose it I need to take some time out to get a grip really. I've had some time off work (for once I wasn't going to any drs which was novel!) and have reassessed things in my life.
But I have taken on board everything you and all the other ladies said and agree with you all. I am on Effexor-SR but I really don't think it's helping in terms of the depression so I'm going to talk to the GP about the dosage or switching to another one.
Yukky old Tamoxifin is causing heaps and heaps of hot flushes (which I hate). It isn't helping with sleep either but I'm hopeful that this might settle over time. Have to take the damn stuff for 10 years!
Anyway the main thing is, with a bit of time out and some 'me' time I'm feeling much, much better so thank you for your post and concern.
I really hope things are going well with you too, luv to hear what you've been up to.
cheers for now
Luv Helen
