Tamoxifen and Anxiety

Thanks Everyone, it has settled a lot after a few events finished- which is a bit surprising as i did not consider myself to be nervous for those events ! I guess, I have changed a lot since the diagnosis...:(

Tamoxifen can cause nausea or tummy upsets with some people and that also may be the cause of some symptoms. 
I had that feeling on taxol, not really nausea just being unsettled (and reflux) it felt a lot like anxiety.
A change in medication regime could easily spike some anxiety and if it continues some sessions with a counsellor may be beneficial.
Whilst it might well be anxiety, the fact it seems to be always there could  be more likely to be side effects. Do you eat when you take it? Is it morning or night? Varying things can help. Did you start any other new medications at same time (like iron tablets) always good to exclude other possible causes.

Just to be on the safe side have you checked your heartbeat? I have an irregular heartbeat - it’s often very easy to treat - and one of the symptoms can be a funny, doom- laden feeling in the pit of your stomach. I am mostly asymptomatic, but I have had it once or twice and it is really disconcerting. It may of course be nothing of the sort, and just a medication reaction. Best wishes. 

Not sure if this is what you mean @msg132, but I describe it as a feeling of doom and yes it does have a losing your stomach physical sensation along with it. It usually happens when I am almost falling asleep at night. It is so unsettling that I then have a lot of trouble relaxing and getting to sleep. I have never had it during the day or even associated with anything in particular, though.

Never had that one sorry lovely.  I do get  regular bouts of nausea though along with a multitude of other things :)
  I have heard that comment before though. As it messes with your hormones and oestrogens effect on seratonin and mood it could most certainly be doing just that.  Best check with your Doctor sweets  xoxoxo
