The only side effect I’ve noticed is that hot flashes are more intense and more frequent. Not fun to experience, but tolerable.

I have been on tamoxifen for over two years. A little weight gain, some joint pain but really haven't had anything that would stop me from functioning. I'm 61 so occasional hot flashes.

I started out on Tamoxifen Sept. 2015 it damaged my Liver. After being off of it for 6 months my Liver enzymes returned to almost normal. I then started Letrazole. The side effects were bad . So i started Anastrozole a year ago. The headaches, insomnia, and overall not feeling well.
I went off of it in March to give my body a rest. And got to feeling better. Could get the saddle on my big ole horse with no problem, months ago I could hardly lift it up there. I just started it back up May 11, and my headaches are back, tired, can't sleep at all. Joints hurt. I refuse to take another pill to help side effects, that have other side effects! I have hot flashes all the time.
I am trying to decide if I want to go off the meds permanently.
