Oh laraj I am so sorry you've been having undesirable side effects with Tamoxifen and I am sure you are not alone on the forum and that others have suffered similar side effects and I hope that they will be along shortly to tell you more about their experience.
It's tempting when suffering such awful side effects to want to stop your treatment but it is crucial that you talk to your medical team first about this. Tell them exactly what side effects you are getting so that they can maybe help you and perhaps give you something to alleviate these issues or they will be able to advise you further on how long you need to take Tamoxifen for and whether there are other alternatives available to you which would not give you these side effects. It's definitely important that you have this conversation with your specialist. You should not suffer in silence for sure!
