Hi everyone, I used to post here very regularly back in 04/05 but have just returned to ask a question and had to re-register. I had treatment for bc back in 04 and have just had my 4th ‘anniversary’ - so far so good!
Apologies if this has been discussed before. I can’t find anything via search.
Has anyone experience of taking the over-the-counter supplement 5htp? I’ve been reading a lot about it and it seems to be good for
A) weight loss
B) menopausal symptoms
C) mood swings/depression
…in other words, the terrible Tamoxifen trio! The menopausal symptoms have always been and continue to be particularly bad for me and I’ve gained 4stone in weight - lovely.
However, I don’t really like to dabble in anything that might affect the effectiveness of the Tamoxifen. Anyone had any discussions with oncs about it? I know mine will just blank me if I ask.
