Once off Tamoxifen, when can I start antidepressants again?

Options

I still have 2 more years on Tamoxifen but I am curious about when I can get back on antidepressants once I am done with Tamoxifen. I heard the effects of Tamoxifen continue years after use. (Effects of preventing cancer) so when I stop taking Tamoxifen can I start taking antidepressants right away?

    There are certain antidepressants that are ok to take with tamoxifen. Lexapro, Celexa and Effexor are all OK.
