Hi Jackwat, I am on Tamoxifen & have suffered with lots of hot flushes & drenching night sweats. I found splitting the dose over the day helps with the hot flushes, so I take 10mg in the morning & another 10mg early evening. I also have acupuncture (in both ears) which REALLY helps control the hot flushes. This treatment is free through Macmillan support at our hospital. Definitely worth a try before you embark on more drugs to control it, i.e mild anti-depressants,

Best wishes.

Thanks for the advice. I've spoken to my pharmacist who has dispensed a different brand of tablet. This has made a significant difference. I think to split the dose it a brilliant idea and certainly something I'm going to try immediately. Thanks so much for your advice, I don't feel all doom and gloom anymore. X
