Hi
Wondering if anyone has itching?
Been on tamoxifen for six months now but lately I’ve been really itchy but no rash. Can’t bare to have a bath cos that makes it unbearable. I get quite a lot of hot flushes too.
Only been taking it 3 months. No itching, but plenty of hot flushes! Have you tried taking an antihistamine? If that doesn’t work might be worth a visit to the GP to see if they can help.
Hi kess
Sounds like good advice. Thanks for your reply its driving me nuts.
I’ll go to the chemist tomorrow if the antihistamines don’t work I will see doctor
Hi Barbie,
I’ve been on tamoxifen for 3 months now, and I too have been bothered with itching over the last couple of weeks. Hot flushes are getting better, but the itching is driving me crazy. Please let me know if the antihistamines work. Think I’ll head to my pharmacist tomorrow for some advice. Take care. Ann x x x
I suffered from itching when i started on Tomoxifen and getting hot made it worse but after 6 months it seems to have settled down.
Been to docs about the se’s from tamoxifen as I’m suffering with quite a few, even considered stopping it. He’s given me anti histamines and wants to do blood test to check liver. Been taking them for three days so far and no improvement but I will persevere.
