I have recently came off Tamoxifen after 10 years . I have since experienced acne on my face and hot flushes have got worse . I never had bad skin before don't know if it's my hormones just settling down ? Also my appetite has diminished . Has anyone experienced any of these symptoms?

 

  • Hello Mg31

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some changes in your health since stopping Tamoxifen. 

    You might find it helpful to have a look at this thread here which has had some recent posts from other ladies who have stopped Tamoxifen. It may be that if you post there you'll get a response from others in similar situations. 

    If things don't settle then get in touch with your GP who will be able to give you some advice. 

    Best wishes,
