Guest guest Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 i had similar experiences on tamoxifin. mood swings, irritability,insonia sometimes i was too depressed to get out of bed. even antidepressants and sleep aids didn't help. so i started taking it sporadically and waited till i became post menopausal so i could take arimidex. the main reason i even semi took it was because as long as i was taking tamox i could keep my medicaid which is through the breast and cervical project and covers anything as long as i am under treatment for breast cancer. terrible thing, to lie to your doctor because of money issues. i didn't take tamox as prescribed and now iv'e got cancer again. would i not have had a recurrence if i had taken it ? i'll never know. i do know that it gives you and 10 to 15% less chance of recurrence. those stats just weren't worth it to me. you do what you can do good luck and hang in there reggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
