Hmm I was told tamox as I'm 54 premeno. He says letrazole for postmeno. I'm on tamox only about a month so far so good but I'm scared of se.

I am on Letrazole(6 mos out)...and I am 57/post menopausal...which is different than your situation. However, I have never experienced hot flashes(not even with menopause) until I went on this med...numerous hot flashes around the clock....and joint stiffness. The other issue is weight gain...wish I could say there were better side effects!

I am 52 but I couldn't take either of them. Tamoxifen gave me night sweats so bad I froze because I was constantly wet. I threw them out.
Letrazole gave me a huge arthritis flare up from the waist down. I couldn't walk or sleep I was in so much pain.

I know they work for some people, just not me.

What is your age?

I've been on tamoxifen since feb 1st '17. I literally dont have any side effects. Hotflashes once in a while, but just getting hot and no sweating. I take 20 mg in the am( because then I'll remember it) and it eorks good.
