[quote=Anonymous]Bumping this back up because I have similar questions re alternatives to Tamoxifen. Like OP, I had stage 1 IDC, a bilateral mastectomy, and no chemo (low Oncotype score). I was 49 at the time of surgery, and premenopausal, so I’ve been taking tamoxifen for the past 18 months. But I’m sad to say I’m NOT tolerating the tamoxifen well any more. The mood swings are increasingly bad (debilitating anxiety, sadness, and anger/rage), plus increased joint pain and severe fatigue. But it’s inconsistent. Some months are fine while others are barely tolerable. (I’m still getting a period every month, so not in menopause.) I have an appointment next week with my oncologist to discuss alternatives to tamoxifen. Just wondering whether anyone who had crazy mood swings like mine had an easier go of it with Lupron shots or some other option. Thanks! [/quote]
