Tamoxifen irritability

I started taking tamoxifen 7 weeks ago and have had no side effects until this week when I’ve become irritable and depressed. Will this pass? Or am I (and my family) stuck with it for the next 10years. Can anyone recommend anything to treat these side effects?

Hello and welcome.  I know exactly what you mean, I found that in the early weeks of taking tamoxifen, I could have cried some days even when someone was being nice to me and other times I was ready to bite someones head off.  It has passed and I have been on it for 8 months now.  It does take a little bit of time for your body to adjust,
