Hi all
I have been on zoladex for a year. It has been hell, with a very low mood, anger, fatigue, worsening anxiety, headaches, and most recently, palpitations and breathlessness.
I have been driving my husband to mental healtg issues of his own because my personality has completely changed into a psycho.
My poor kids are also struggling.
So I decided not to have my zoladex injection last week as I was close to suicidal. Since then it has been amazing. I am my old self: happy, calm, able to enjoy family time. The change is shocking.
I have asked to see my onc, and hopefully will in the next few weeks. In the meantime he has prescribed tamoxifen for me.
Has anyone moved from zoladex to tamoxifen?
Also, has anyone noticed their nurse or doctor doesn’t take side effects seriously? I am a calm person who doesn’t like to cause problems for anyone usually, but have had to fight my corner on this one.
If tamoxifem is equally evil, I am going to come off it too and enjoy whatever few years I have left, rather than this awful life that I’ve lived for the last year.
