Has anyone experienced clear vaginal drainage while taking tamoxifen ? I am 61 years old post menopausal with a double mastectomy as of January 2017 .

I had developed cysts while on Tamoxifen, then I had a hysterectomy so I could stay on Tamoxifen. I'm 59 and now I'm off Tamoxifen because it didn't work, I have Mets along my spine and now I'm taking Verzenio and Faslodex to prevent the cancer from growing and spreading. Get your problems checked by an OBGYN.

I have been on tamoxifen 2 1/2 years so far and I am supposed to be on it for five years
Did you only have to take it for a few months

Same happened to me while I was on it for a few short months. It drove me crazy. It stopped a few weeks after I stopped taking it.

Yes it's a side effect. If its concerning you go get checked out by your GP/gyno.

yes-vaginal discharge is one of the side effects. I had it for awhile and it levels off. Its either lack of moisture or too much moisture..
