Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was diagnosed with Depression and Anxiety years ago and had finally gotten to a great place with a small dose of prozac and a supplement of Abilify. Then I had breast cancer and could not take the Prozac. I was told the only thing that I could take is Effexor, which I knew didnt work well for me because I had tried it before, but didnt have much choice. I have very recently weaned off of the Effexor, last dose was January 24 of this year. This was my choice due to the sexual side effects. I realize that I do need something for the depression and anxiety. I am having lots of anger and mood swings and crying and thoughts of suicide. Imagine my horror to see that Effexor shows on your list as being incompatible with Tamoxifen when I have been taking this combo for more than a year!
hello.. yes effexor is safe with tampxifen but there is one more option for you among antidepressants i.e. mirtazapine this deug doesnot cause any bleeding or clotting impairment of blood. i would suggest you to visit your doctor and discuss about this drug. hope it will help you
