Hello I have been on Tamoxifen for a little over a year now Reduced the dose to 5 mg daily Had so many side effects Recently experienced insomnia, bad dreams and having to urinate during the night every hour. I have taken a break for 2 weeks from Tamoxifen to see if symptoms increased insomnia not able to sleep still up all night to urinate increased hot flashes See my oncologist the end of month May 23. Feel like I walked across desert Drink lots of water but stop before bedtime Started taking magnesium at night to see if that might help I take my Tamoxifen mid morning I’m exhausted Has anyone experienced this I’m 82
Thanks for any input

Hi
I only lasted 6 days on tamoxifen. I discussed with my oncologist and he agreed it was not worth it for myself. Personally I don't see the benefit of taking a medication that gives you such horrific side effects and your quality of life goes in the crapper
