Hi Foxy. I came off tamoxifen after four months because I felt absolutely awful on it. I was switched to Zoladex and Arimidex and feel a whole lot better. Fatigue is still an issue, but generally it’s ok.
Everyone responds differently, so there are no guarantees, but it’s worth a try. The SEs for me on tamoxifen were so bad that if I hadn’t been able to switch to something else, I would have stopped treatment altogether and taken my chances.
If you don’t mind me asking, what SE did you have with Tamoxifen? I just had very severe joint pain. Also, due to my age I think I would only be on zoladex… did you get any SE at all? I heard that you can still get joint pain and weight gain.
