The problems I am aware of involve Paxil or other SSRI's and tamoxifen. The problem appears to be that Paxil and SSRI's can prevent the liver from converting tamoxifen into its active form. If you were on tamoxifen then switching your antidepressant to Effexor appears to help and avoids the interaction. I am not aware of any problem with Aromosin and Paxil.
Thanks for reply and happy to know no interference in absorption. I have been on Paxil for a length of time and don't seem to do well without. Panic issues. Have tried a number of other antidepressants but didn't work as well. Just hope the Paxil isn't a carcinogen in and of itself. Take the lowest dose possible. Want to remain cancer free.
