Hi all, has anyone experienced severe anxiety on Tamoxifen? I have always suffered with some anxiety, but since my treatment, my anxiety is off the chart and I feel like Im close to break down. I just dont feel like myself any more.

Hi @Pippy14
I didn’t try tamoxifen but I tried letrazole and it made me really anxious, depressed and feeling suicidal. You need to speak to your oncologist straight away.
I am sending you a hug. Xx
Oh yes, I was on it for a month 10 yrs ago, anxiety and realy bad mood swings, Dr agreed it was better for me to come off it, though I still have anxiety which I take meds for.
