Dear Betty,
I have been on Tamoxifen for almost 3 years, and it can definitely cause
hot flashes; and if I remember an early conversation with my doctor, it
can also cause or exacerbate depression. (This was a concern to me, but
my dr. said that unless it became really bad, he still wanted me on the
medication.)
However, these are minor compared to leg pain. The info I have says to
CONTACT YOUR DR. WITHOUT DELAY if you experience pain or swelling in
the legs (I believe this is because there is increased possibility of a
blood clot). So, don't fool around, friend. Please don't wait on this!
Let me know how you do, ok? I care. God bless, Joicy
