Should I Continue Taking Tamoxifen
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I've been taking tamoxifen for almost one year and I should take it for 5 yrs,but I feel I can't take any longer the side effect of taking it..every morning I have a mascular pain,my two arms are aching, I tried to lessen my work because my doctor said that maybe I work too much, but still the pain continue and aside from that I feel the hot flushes in my body that I always felt I had a fever. I cant take the pains anymore,i dont know what will happen if I stop taking it.

I am 33 years years old female. Suffered cva in 2011. On ecosprin 150 since then. Detected breast cancer in 2013 june. Treatment over. Doctor has advised tamoxifen 20mg for 10 years. Is it safe to take tamoxifen with history of cva but on ecosprin 150 continued.

Hello, Celeste! How are you?

Tamoxifen is a very important medication and you really shouldn't stop taking it, unless your doctor approves. I understand that it can cause some problematic side effects, but if it's saving your life, then it's worth it.

What else have you tried to ease them?
