Tamoxifen

I am really struggling with hot flushes, getting them every 40 minutes even during the night. Does anyone have any information I've now been on it 6 monrhs

  • I have been on Tamoxifen for about 2 years.  For the first couple of months I had aches and pains, and terrible hot flushes, keeping me awake at night.  I was exhausted the next morning, when I had to get up for work.  I told the doctor who prescribed a very low anti-depressant, which worked a treat!

    I was also told that different manufactured drugs could cause different reactions.  I had a word with the pharmasist, and she said that she would try and keep me on the one that I thinks suits me.  I believe Tamoxifen is  a very effective drug, so I will continue to take for 3 more years.

    If you have any further questions, please post on this site, and I am sure the kind people on here will try and help.
