Hi Ladies,
I too am having the sleeplessness with Tamoxifen. I have asked my GP for something to help me sleep and he didnt want to give me anything to start with. Then I burst into tears and he caved in. I know they are highly addictive so I only take one when I am really able to sleep in the next day and dont have to work.
I also still am having numb feet and fingers from chemo and also pain in my feet at night which doesnt help with the sleeping. HOt Flushes all day and night also dont help. I toss and turn all night being hot then cold then hot again.
I dont have any answers for you all but I know if i have to take these tablets for 5 years I am going to be very tired by the time I stop taking the tablets in 2016. I would give my left breast for a whole nights sleep. (Then I wouldnt be lopsided)
Looking forward to any more comments on this subject.
Take Care Chrissy :)
