I have been on tamoxifen for 5 years and the plan is to be on it for 10 years. I was experiencing anxiety and major mood swings after the first 6 mos. My oncologist prescribed Effexor and this has helped greatly. I have also found that taking the tamoxifen before I go to bed helps with the other side effects. Best Wishes!

I also had anxiety while taking it. I am now on anxiety meds. I'm not taking tamoxifen any more. I'm on exemestane now, but it's made my migraines worse. I see my oncologist in a few weeks and will discuss it then.

Have you tried CBD Hemp oil? It might be a more natural way to manage your pain without hBing yo move to Oregon. I don't have any personal experience with it but if I have to go through chemo again I think I will give it a try. Maybe someone had tried the CBD Hemp Oil and can comment?
