Tamoxifen 5mg side effects?

Hi,

Can anyone share their experience of taking Tamoxifen in 5mg with regards side effects etc., as I am due to be on it soon?

Thank you!

  • Hi there,

    I was really nervous about taking Tamoxifen too but I can tell you that my experience has been ok.   I’ve been on it 18 months now and will switch to Letrozole in 6 months.

    Early on I had quite bad joint pain, insomnia, dry skin, hair thinning and some flushing.  It definitely all settled down this year. I think it’s good to accept there will be side affects but honestly it’s not too bad and it does settle down.  Try different brands as some suit better than others.

    Good luck.

    Mary

  • Thanks for sharing your experience Mary, what brand are you on? i'm hoping side effects will be lesser with 5mg xx
