Last week I learned that Tamoxifen, the pill that I will have to take for the next five years to reduce the chances of the cancer coming back, is at odds with Prozac. Somehow, Prozac diminished dramatically the effect of Tamoxifen, because of how they are processed in the liver. Well, all of this is only relevant if you know that I have a brain lesion which makes me take several neurological drugs, among which is Prozac.
As a result, we made a sprint to my neurologist, who immediately knew what we were worrying about, and who changed my meds. Swoosh, with one stroke of his pen. I am wondering if my mood will change as quickly. But this far, I have been feeling great. I have a bit of headache, but that's all.
In addition, this new med is also supposed to reduce the hot flashes, which sometimes really make it hard for me to sleep. That would be an additional bonus. We shall see...
