Effects of coming off tamoxifen after 10 years

Hi, I came off tamoxlfen in July after 11 years, I’ve not had any of the many other side effects mentioned. I am 58 and tamoxifen through me into menopause at 46. Since coming off tamoxifen I feel permanently exhausted and have what I can only describe as brain fog, I can also burst into tears in a second at ridiculous things. I was wondering if anyone else has felt like this.

    Hi I have just came off tamoxifen after 10 years 2.5 months ago.  My sweats and flushed are worse. Like you I could burst into tears at the slightest thing.  Brain fog is a understatement I feel as if I can't remember a thing I get confused at times. This was how I felt going into the medication. I feel awful just now   I sympathise totally with you
