Peri menopause symptoms after tamoxifen

have2laugh

I stopped tamoxifen in June after five years. I initially had some issues with hot flashes when cutting back dose but seemed to do fine once completely off. I also started Lexapro in anticipation that I might have issues coming off tamoxifen given I started at 44 and was ending at 49. I now know Lexapro can cause hot flashes so may have been the issue then as I started one while reducing other but this is resolved. I do not feel depressed my issue is more anxiety but I have had two issues were I was legitimately upset but then became very emotional and could not stop crying for a few hours. At one point I was crying because I couldn't stop crying. I am typically not a crier. I am a nurse practitioner so I'm familiar with medications and side effects. While on tamoxifen periods were very regular and now have had two irregular cycles.But I am 49 so maybe more age then discontinuation of tamoxifen. My question is are there any supplements that are safe for us to use to help with this hormonal transition that others have found helpful? I have even wondered about restarting tamoxifen. I recall my mother crying for about ten years going through the “change" and this won't work for me! Any tips others have found appreciated- very disconcerting to feel unable to control emotions. I know options of hormone or birth control won't be recommended but honestly would weigh risks and benefits at this point. Thank you for those willing to share
