Most side effects never get reported to the government or the manufacturer because the doctor has to take time to submit an "adverse event" report. Now patients can do it. If you have had a problem, please report it to the FDA.

Consumers can file an adverse reaction report with the FDA. http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/HowToReport/default.htm

    Hi Mollyann!  Yes, I'm waiting to hear back from the FDA....I reported my story about Deafness from Tamoxifen....And it is soooooooooo hard to get anyone of your medical team to believe this, much less try and help!  I reported my problem so maybe it would help some other older woman.

    Hearing aids are nice, but nothing takes the place of normal hearing.....
