Stopping Tamoxifen after 10 years

Offline Zetgirl over 4 years ago

Hi everyone.

I am just about to stop taking Tamoxifen after 10 years and wondered if I am likely to get any withdrawal side effects.

I am aged 63 .

Has anyone experienced any side effects after stopping after 10 years and how long did they last.

Any advice and comments appreciated.

Hi Zetgirl,
I only took Tamoxifen for 1 year and Letrozole for 6. I stopped taking the Letrozle in 2017 and had no withdrawal symptoms.
Kind regards,

I will let you know how it goes. I am coming off them slowly, one every other day at the moment.
I was very lucky with Tamoxifen as I have been on it for just ober 10 years without any side effects at all.

Hi Zetgirl,
I am glad to hear that you had no problems with Tamoxifen throughout the time that you were taking it. It is probably a good idea to gradually come off them. I never thought of that with Letrozole or Tamoxifen. I just stopped taking them and had no adverse effects.
I look forward to hearing how you get on.
Kind regards,
