Hello and welcome to the online network:):) I take tamoxifen,and I am post menopausal.I might be wrong,but I have heard many times,that all of these medications ' cause' weight gain.I actually believe though,that the medications themselves don't actually PUT extra weight on us,but they can cause our bodies to gain weight more easily than before,for example,like the slowing down of your metabolism when you reach menopause.I have worked VERY HARD not to gain weight since I startedTamoxifen.I walk about 5 km each day,and I watch VERY carefully what I eat.As our bodies change after BC,so too do our needs,nutritionally and emotionally.There is a really good booklet that you can access on this site,about nutrition and exercise,if I remember correctly.On the old site,I knew exactly where it was,but I am not sure now.I will have. Look and let u know if I find it.All the best.Cheers Robyn.xxx
