Oh my Francine6829, I very glad you have had such luck with Tomoxifin!! It gave me brain fog and memory loss so bad I couldn’t think straight. I also have been on Anastrozole, that gave me even worse cognitive issues, brain fog; and it seems I had an allergic reaction to Anastrozole as I broke out in hives that Itched so bad I thought I’d go crazy! I started Exemestane last week and so far, so good... Hoping I’ve found the right drug for me, but it’s really expensive, my insurance won’t pay much on the Exemestane. A 3 month prescription of It cost me over $500. If it’s the right drug for me, guess I’ll need to change my insurance to one that does cover it better.
Any tips for time of day to take tamoxifen? Morning or night? With or without food? My goal is to mitigate potential side effects as much as possible without resorting to other medications.
I am premenopausal....I am meeting with nutrition soon and have determined that I am willing to at least try the tamoxifen to see how it goes but the potential side effects are extremely concerning for me. I don't take any other medications currently and would prefer not to if another route is possible (hence the meeting with nutrition).
