Tamoxifen side effects are very worrying. Read these studies

Posted by brightside21 @brightside21, May 26, 2024

I'm on Tamoxifen for 10yrs as I've osteoporosis I can't swap to AIs.
My concerns are my long term brain health.
I've daily have severe headaches, poor concentration, all the usual side effects & none have diminished.

Tamoxifen and mental health

I wish to know what other women feel about this drug & if there are other recent 2024 study reports. Does this drug cause harm to our bodies whilst protecting us from the recurrant cancer? such side-effects of tamoxifen are very concerning when taking for 10yrs.
Please comment , thank you
The link below is of another study & also highlights the problems & issues of Tamoxifen saying "Tamoxifen is
shown to decrease performance on visuospatial, visual, and verbal memory tasks".

I'm too on Tamoxefen & having extreme brain fog, headaches, depression, poor cognition & concentration...etc...so have been researching & think we should all be very wary of these problems. Studies I've read are not extensive or totally conclusive but are showing up a lot of issues.

I felt as bad on tamoxifen as I felt when getting IV chemo. Dr. kept swapping meds when I told her how bad I felt. I forget how long I struggled taking them after the chemo and mastectomy and was so relieved when dr. said I could stop. That was 9 years ago. Still, with these implants and having had such a history with cancer drugs, I’m grateful to still be here-but still struggling with extreme fatigue, brain fog and generally feel achey and worn out all the time…as well as with these heavy implants that just keep getting heavier…it’s like hard work to dig in garden or take a simple walk! Thanks for letting me whine….
