Stopping Tamoxifen after 2 years
Hi All,
Hope you are all doing well. I was on latrezole and Femara for a year - Had rheumatoid so moved to Tamoxifen. Now after 2 years I have to stop it due to side effects and no further treatments just monitoring .
Just wondering if anyone has any side effects after stopping it?
I am v fatigued and bloated still ....
Thanks in advance

- I stopped tamoxifen after 20 months because of side effects. I felt fantastic. It takes about 4 weeks to completely remove it from the body. No side effects stopping it.
Unfortunately I am high risk so now on Letrozole. It's ok, bit of joint pain but I am ok.
