I have the opposite pathology (ER+/PR-) and Tamoxifen tends to work better if you are positive for both (and strongly positive). Since your situation is rarer than mine, I would discuss with your onc on the effectiveness of Tamoxifen in your situation or if Evista or Megace might be better. I will see if I have something to post in my virtual library on this. However, I would never stop taking the Tamoxifen without discussing with your onc and maybe even getting another opinion (medical opinion) of what you should do.
