Hi @Mjheke I just came online again after a break and I saw your post about Tamoxifen. We started our journey together last November. I also started Tamoxifen 6 months ago and have spiralled into a different person which I hate. My major side effect was anxiety at work. I double checked everything, filled 4 x A4 books with data that I just kept writing over and over. I would wake up at 2am panicking that I hadn’t done something, would log onto my computer to find I had. I was going crazy. I also agree with you about weeing more often at night and suffering insomnia. My oncologist stopped Tamoxifen for 3 weeks in an effort to reset my brain but once I started again it got worse. One weekend in July I just couldn’t function and didn’t want to live anymore. Which is ironic after all you come through with BC. Anyway I’ve been on another break for two weeks, feeling so much better before I try a different drug. I will now start on Arimidex tomorrow. I’m hoping the side effects will be more physical than mental. That’s what brought me back to the forum. I was just looking for people’s experience on Arimidex. Feeling scared because I don’t want to experience the same effects as Tamoxifen again. Talk to your oncologist Michelle and see if there are other options for you. Thinking of you xxx
