Hi
I’ve started to take tamoxifen since end of Nov and up until a couple of weeks ago no major side effects.
But within the last 2 weeks I’ve started to have nightly hot flushes and waking up at regular intervals throughout the night and I have always been a good sleeper never had any problems, so can only put this down to the tablet.
I also haven’t had a period since end of Nov so could be a combination of menopause and tablet.
I’m really just trying to get some advice of other ladies who have maybe been able to take something else which may help with symptoms that won’t interfere with Tamoxifen and also if symptoms do subside a little after a length of time.
I can cope with hot flushes it’s the disturbed sleep and stupid thoughts running through my head in the middle of the night
Any advice would be much appreciated
Thanks

Hi Paula I can’t really offer any advice as I am starting tamoxifen on Saturday. I’ve been getting the hot flushes brought on through chemo which I’ve been finished now for nearly five weeks. I’m also concerned that tam will make them worse and would like to know if there is anything to help ease them I hope people will offer advice to you soon as I will also appreciate it also xxx Tracy
