I only lasted 6 weeks on Tamoxifen taking 10 mg every other day. Hot flashes and nausea 4 days in which was tolerable compared to 5 weeks in, I had horrible stomach cramping, swelling in face with rash and constant itchiness face and “lady bits “. It was unbearable and I know most women are strong and able to persevere but I just can not. I feel like a failure. Thank god so far I do not have cancer, only ADH but I deal with anxiety everyday with this decision.
