Hi @louiseg,
Remember me? You are a trooper taking T for 10yrs! I took it for 4yrs and took Endep 10 mgs to help with the hot flushes.I was going through a difficult time nursing my mum who was dying(liver cancer) and decided to stop Tamoxifen(April 2014) I think I kept taking the Endep for a further 4 or 5mths and then eased myself off them.The hot flushes were very mild and less frequent after that.Over the years,hot flushes have disappeared but I still feel extra warm at times.I’ve just had my mammo/ checkup and all clear after 11yrs.Maybe take Garbapentin for a few more months and then gradually come off it ? ie alternate days and so forth depending on what your doctor thinks.xx
