Susan Love wrote about women who suffered "hormone driven depression" such as post partum depression or PMS when younger can have severe depression on Tamoxifen. That's what happened to me on even 10 mg of Tamoxifen. My oncologist has me on 10 mg/5mg alternating days and I am tolerating that without symptoms.
My doctor says "low (dose) is better than no (dose). I hope this helps.

Hi
Isn't it just lovely wet women have to go through because of their hormones. My oncologist and I already agreed on 5 mg that is all I will do because I'm so hypersensitive to meds because of my fibro I'm just tired of scripts.
