ve been unable to start tamoxifen yet because of really severe
hot flashes. They started immediately after I went off estrogen at diagnosis. I was only taking 1 mg. and I can't believe it could make that much difference in how I feel. Weak, fuzzy headed, poor memory, saggy skin, no libido, painful sex---the whole ugly lot of symptoms. I've tried vitamin E, evening primrose oil and black cohash---nothing's worked so far.
