Ditto the weaning. Withdrawls are not as bad if you wean off slowly and under a doctors orders. I had the vertigo because I skipped two days after forgetting a refill.

Oh yes!! The brain zaps. My Ex Doctor told me he never heard of such a thing and I basically was full of it. But they are very real and not fun. You have to wean off by take 3/4 for a week then a half for a week and then a quarter for a week. Good luck

If it’s working don’t try and fix it.. 😊

I was diagnosed 25 years ago. At 42 years of age, I started tamoxifen. The menopausal symptoms were unbearable… hot sweats, unable to concentrate, etc. My oncologist recommended a SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor), an antidepressant. It helped and I was better able to function at work. However, I’ve tried several times to wean off with the help of doctors by decreasing the dose. The side effects always force me back on it. Brain zaps, dizziness, nausea, headaches. I’m 68 years old now and have given up on trying to get off of it! So what, right? 🫨

Yes! It was horrible if I just forgot if for a day or two. I weaned off and won’t touch the stuff! It made the depession worse.
