Re: Tamoxifen and Sertraline/Zoloft
Thank you both I needed to hear that. It is refreshing to get perspectives from women who have been through it or touched by it. I thought it somehow magically gets easier with time but every little bodily pain attracts health anxiety. I exercise and eat so much better then I used to but just can’t seem to rebuild the pieces. I also have a sick husband who is not a communicator and emotional support is not quite forthcoming. We have small kids and I really really want to be here for a long time for them :(. This has been a big hiccup! Thank you for the link I will explore x18Views0likes0CommentsTamoxifen and Sertraline/Zoloft
Hi there This is my first post. I was diagnosed in December 2018 with ER positive BC. Had surgery to take out two lumps in left breast and lymph nodes. Lymph nodes clear, I had radio and was put on tamoxifen. I also had my ovaries out later that year. I have not gone back to work yet and am struggling to rebuild and I note COVID and home schooling has not helped. I have been seeing psychologist who is great but recently my GP has put me on Sertraline because I had a bit of a melt down. I feel like a bit of a failure, its been over a year now since being diagnosed, I still have health anxiety but I should have my life resolved by now, should have found my way and taken the opportunity, the time to redirect my life by now, gone back to work. Other women have, they have gone back to work, found new meaning in life, seen it as a second chance etc. i am so worried about taking this antidepressant, in fact any. I am worried about it increasing my risk of getting BC again. I am worried that it will stop tamoxifen from being effective. I still haven’t taken it. Has anyone had this experience? Is anyone on antidepressants who is on tamoxifen. Does anyone take sertraline?415Views0likes9Comments
