The breast cancer drug tamoxifen may not work properly in women who take certain antidepressants, warns Shannon Puhalla, MD. Three popular ones – Paxil, Prozac and Zoloft – can make cancer more likely to recur in women taking tamoxifen.
Self-defense: Ask your doctor about switching to the antidepressant Effexor, which does not seem to interact with tamoxifen.
