HI all, I've been on tamoxifen for 6 months now with only the occasional night sweats and nothing else. Just recently I've started to become slightly off balance, not falling over dizzy but fuzzy in the head and I get wobbles. Don't know if its the Tamox, anxiety or an inner ear infection. Don't know when to go to the GP. Anyone else experience side - effects after 6 months?

I take my tamoxifen at night.. Seems to help with any issues. Try that? Might help off-set any daytime dizziness?

Hi i have been on [[treatment:tamoxifen:540f562a[[phone:8608758280000445]] 5:]] years and yes diziness is something i frequently get along with insomnia and digestive issues. The docs say these are not common side effects but they are for me and i have checked internet and they are. Its horrible but i guess the drug keeps it at bay..try to make sure you eat before you take it and steer clear off caffine it helps. Wishing you well xxx

@sallynorrisHi there I've been experiencing the same for ages months and have been on tamoxifen for 20 months now, I've been to see my consultants under study in November whom said it possibly could be due to the tamoxifen then saw oncology who said it's unlikely as you've been on it too long??? So went to myG P whom done some tests ears were fine but blood pressure was high which can cause dizzyness, so I'm currently trying meds for this too which at the moment ain't really helping as still am suffering with the dizzyness in my head .I am going to see my consultant on Tuesday and am certainly going to ask what other tests they can offer to solve it as its driving me mad feeling anxious why and what is going on?? Please keep me informed whatever you decide to do or see ,good luck xxxx
