What are the current thoughts on tamoxifen? Side effects? Effectiveness?
I had no issues on Tamoxifen - switched to an A.I. after I had my ovaries out. 👍If you try it and have issues you can always get switched to something else.
I was on Tamoxifen for 6 years and was told to stop when I had knee replacement surgery. Otherwise, it gave me muscles in the beginning until my body adjusted. And the serious hot flashes were no joke. But again that subsided as well
I took Tamoxifen for 5 years. My hot flashes were very severe. My oncologist switched me from the 20 MG pill to taking 2 10mg pills. That really helped by splitting the dosage. Good luck. I wish you an easy journey.
I’ve been taking it since May, and so far no side effects. But I had a friend who started bleeding after 18 months. Nothing for her at first though.
I haven’t had bad side effect at all, thankfully!
