Just took my first little white pill
Well the day finally arrived and I took my little white Tamoxifen pill this morning.
I was terribly nervous and anxious and I waited for a bomb to drop with side effects....weird I know!
I went through Chemo with relative ease, then radiation knocked me a bit with severe burns and pain but this white pill was the ultimate monster to me.
But Im now a 'Tamox Girl' like so many of you out there and I'm going to cross everything that I dont have any side effects and if I do - I pray they are minimal!
Hope you are all well.

I have been on Tamoxifin a few months now and its not too bad, I was on Arimidex and the side effects were just too much for me, but with Tamoxifin there are the hot flushes and like Royn says they do get tiresome I also get cramping.
So I take magnisium for the cramping and Calcium with vitamin D for my bones.
Take care and good luck

- LanaMemberI started tamoxifen 2 weeks ago and like you felt very anxious about taking it. I worked myself up over nothing. So far so good! I take mine at night as recommended by some ladies on here. I get still get hot flushes but they are no where near or as frequent as when I was having chemo. Good luck!

- JodieWallMemberThanks Deanne xxx I'm taking it in the morning because be read many people prefer it in the morning. I'm a little nauseous tonight but I've read that should pass in a few days? Xx
