Tamoxofen

I was on tamoxifen for about 4 years with no real problems.  I was told before I started taking it to take it at night and the side effects would be worse while I sleep.   Another thing I found was that different brands affected me differently.  There was one brand that I noticed I had worse side effects on, once I started avoiding that brand I was fine.

Hi Heton,
totally understandable that you are nervous. Every step to recovery seems to have its own little surprises!!
Hopefully, Tamoxifen treats you kindly xx

Hi Michele
Thanks for the reply. I have been feeling so nervous about taking it so this is reassuring. Its like i have started to feel myself after chemo then here we go again sort of feeling.
Im sorry to hear your current medication isn't so kind

Hi @Heton, I was on Tamoxifen for 4 and half years before switching to Arimidex. 
I found Tamoxifen quite bearable. The main side effects for me were fatigue and gynae problems with thickened endometrium which required 3 hysteroscopies. This was the reason I was switched to Arimidex.
Other than that tho, I had minimal hot flushes and aches and pains, much less than I am currently having on Arimidex.
I wish you all the best with Tamoxifen, I hope you cope well and have minimal side effects. 
Best wishes, 
Michele xx
