Tamoxifen and autoimmune treatment options?

Posted by michele213 @michele213, Dec 5, 2025

Due to the tamoxifen ny rheumatologist took me off of my plaquenil, muscle relaxers and anti depressants. I had a severe reacti9n from the tamoxifen and plaquenil together. I have to be on tamoxifen for 5 years. What am I to do with all of my other autoimmune conditions. My autoimmune even causes me hypokalemia periodic paralysis. I can feel myself going downhill. Has anyone else been through this. I feel abandoned almost thrown away.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Autoimmune Diseases Support Group.

I use a tamoxifen swish for oral lichen planus. I don’t know what you are going through but you sound so overwhelmed. Please hang in there. I often feel as though I don’t know what I am doing-the specialist I see, I see once per year and often am confused by my symptoms but I plod along and eventually the symptoms die down. Please seek further help

I posted incorrectly-I use a tacrilimus swish, not tamoxifen.
