Hi all
I just wondered if this was just me.
I have been taking Tamoxifen since January. I have noticed lately that I go to extremes emotionally. One minute I’m so angry with people and then the next minute I’m crying. I am an absolute nightmare to live with. I feel like I’m making everyone around me miserable.
This will seem very trivial compared with what others are going through.
Hello @mmmz
I can’t say for certain that your mood swings are down to the Tamoxifen or whether you would have them due to menopause in any event: I certainly can’t decide if that is the case for me or not.
I definitely feel like I have more rage these days and I’ve found that sometimes I just have to shout and swear (and woe betide anything that needs scrubbing ) but I am able to confine it to times when I’m alone in the house so it doesn’t impact on anybody else in the house. Like other feelings and emotions I find it’s a case of “riding the wave” ie recognising how I’m feeling and allowing it to pass rather than trying to maintain a constant all the time and/or trying to fight it: if that makes sense?

I totally feel like this! And I HATE it. I have very little patience and the smallest things will make me angry. Sending you hugs - we are in this together!
