Tamoxifen and Sertraline

I am going to start taking Tamoxifen from next week.I am already taking fluxotine and have been for quite a few years. So when I read in the Tamoxifen factsheet that it isnt a good combination I went to my Doctors to speak to him about it. He has now put me on Sertraline . I have now read that these are also not a good combination. I am worrying myself sick about this as I dont want anything stopping the Tamoxifen from working properly.What do I do now as I have a very bad anxiety problem.
