Are Severe Fatigue And Depression Side Effects Of Tamoxifen?
I am 71 years old and have been taking Tamoxifen for a year (after breast cancer) I am having a terrible time with the side effects. Severe depression, serious fatigue and mild dizziness are preventing me from working. I can t live like this, and have been thinking of asking my oncologist if I switch to Arimidex but since I have RA, and one of the side effects is joint pain, I fear this may not be a good option either. Do you have any experience with this sort of situation?
