Tamoxifen side effects
I’ve been on Tamoxifen now since November and been absolutely fine. I was using a Generic brand Genox all good. The pharmacist gave me a different brand this time and since last week I have felt this...

Hi @Annie71,
Taking the Tamoxifen and antidepressant together first thing from now on, but have experienced only a slight improvement in sleep. See my comments in Exercise and Eating thread! What a rotten weekend. Whole body aches and pains kept me in bed all day Saturday. The result of 10 days of the drug and a sudden drop in estrogen, presumably. I went to the gym Sunday a.m. to try to shift the pain, and took combined paracetamol and ibuprofen. Then, being tired, with brain fog and a very short fuse - I ended up flying off the handle and had a fight (just some harsh words) with my dad. Mood swings! My son says I was like the scary vengeful ghost from The Ring.
The good news is that it didn't last. Still have sore joints, but not as bad. Still want to sleep at about 1pm. Still not sleeping properly at night - but I am able to function at work pretty effectively. I hope she (above) stays in her well. I'd like to keep my job, friends, sanity etc.
