Tamoxifen withdrawal effects?
Tamoxifen withdrawal effects? Hi everyone,
I’ve just come off Tamoxifen (I was only on it for a few months, I should say, and I hope you don’t mind my asking this question here).
Has anyone had kind of ‘aftershocks’ from Tamoxifen, after stopping taking it? I feel better than I did while on it, but I’m having violent shakes at night, sweats, nausea etc. I’ve had to stay on the Domperidone for now, as I still really need it. The closest I can get to describing it, is like food poisoning feels.
OK, it’s only been a week and they did kind of warn me …
But it would be reassuring to know if anyone else has experienced anything similar?
Many thanks

Thanks! Many thanks, I might well call the helpline (again!).
I went loopy last night - couldn’t think straight at all, couldn’t write an email to a friend, and spend most of today in bed. It’s definitely the Tamoxifen as it’s the same feeling as when I was on it … only there are longer gaps now between ‘episodes’ … but they are kind of more violent, if that makes any sense!
Maybe I should have cut down gradually? Oh well, I guess this can’t last for ever!
love to all
