Complex Partial Seizures and Tamoxifen

Fri, 07/01/2016 - 08:44
I am new to this site and would like to know if anyone is on Tamoxifen and have had a seizure. Tamoxifen is a preventative medication for breast cancer. I have been just diagnosed with complex partial seizures. As I have looked back they started when I started the Tamoxifen. If anyone can help it would be appreciated.

I am also taking tamoxifen for about 4 years now. I experienced my first seizure last week - it was very scary. My doctors are trying to figure out why I had my seizure. This is helpful to read.
