Tamoxifen? How do you know.......

I am feeling the exact same way and I am too on tamoxifen.

The other thing I am experiencing with it is anger...at the drop of a hat I can just rip somebody a new one.

I also feel like there are moments that I am losing my mind. Radiation oncologist told me that this is normal, now it seems that I keep counting down the days until the 5 years is done. It will be 1 year in 2 weeks...4 more to go!

Depending on your age you may get menopausal symptoms, tamoxifen will do that to you. I already had symptoms so am experiencing a doubly whammy...lol! My husband is stubborn and knows that this is not me talking, it's the medication. Just tell hubby it will turn around. If it doesn't seem to and you don't like yourself (same here) next time going to the oncologist perhaps ask for an alternative. I have a visit with my medical oncologist in 2 weeks and am strongly debating this as when I sit here and look at 4 years..not sure any of us can handle this crap for that long...lol!

One thing I can tell you about tamoxifen, from my experience so far (2 years) is that the side effects will come and go. What that means is what you are feeling now isn't necessarily what you will feel 6 months from now.

My onc prescribed celexa and tamoxifen at the same time. I had a crazy reaction similar to you. I think it was in part due to the celexa because I stopped both but started Tamoxifen ten months later and I just had the garden variety symptoms like hot flashes. Also know that many of us experience PTSD, which often presents after active treatment is over and hormonal therapy begins.
