Breast Cance
"I am 41. I had been on Effexor for a couple of years, so when I was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer I carried on with the medication.  I started taking Tamoxifen about a month ago.  So far I am very fatigued, have headaches and some physical aches and pains.  I take my Tamoxifen in the morning, with my breakfast, because that seems to calm the nausea that I can get with an empty stomach.  The best thing that I am experiencing now that I am on the Tamoxifen is the ability to cry and work through emotion.  That ability had left me while I was just on the Effexor, I still felt sad, but didn&#039;t feel like I could cry.  Well the tears come now, and they feel cleansing and good.  I have much less anxiety about having a cancer re-occurrence."
