Just thought I'd jump in and tell you my tips for Tamoxifen.I mean,we are all different but it doesn't hurt to gather opinions. I use 'Genox"brand because I found it the most tolerable.I was given another brand by my chemist once and omg,it was dreadful- broke out in a face rash and had awful headache.My friend also experienced this too and even my surgeon said Genox seems to be more agreeable. The other tip is to just take half a tablet for the first few days to ease it into your system.The most common problems are hot flushes,mood swings,fluid retention,weight gain and sleepless nights.I got all of those initially but only mildly.Sometimes it all settles after a few months.If it doesn't then there are other medications that can help.I take a very low dose of Endep 10mg which helps with mood,sleep and hot flushes.Here's hoping you are one of the lucky ones,like my friend,who has no side effects whatsoever.
