I have read on Dr Google that Melatonin and Tamoxifen do well together. As well as using Tamoxifen after Breast Cancer, I dont sleep well due to Restless Legs Syndrome.
Anyone using Melatonin while on Tamoxifen?

My doctor recommended magnesium tablets for restless legs and its worked wonderfully. I sleep better as a result.

Magnesium is a muscle relaxant and works well for cramp too.
I've not heard of using Melatonin either with or without Tamoxifen.
Has your Consultant suggested transferring you on to Arimidex (anastrozole) at a future date?
