Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

There is no drug interaction between Effexor and Tamoxifen however Effexor has been discontinued by the FDA IF you are observing adverse drug reaction then I recommend that you stop taking it.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
