I started abemaciclib last Thursday on 100mg and yesterday started tamoxifen in the evening. As soon as I took it I started to feel nauseous and again all day. I’m assuming it’s due to the tamoxifen but could be abemaciclib or both. Any suggestions on what will help?
Hi rosa1, I think you’re right that they both can cause nausea. I’m on exemestane and try to take it with food to reduce that. If the nausea is bad I take anti-sickness tablets, left over from chemo. It only happens 2 or 3 times a month so may be what I ate the night before!? I didn’t get nausea when I was on abemaciclib but it is a side effect so the two of them might be a perfect storm for you. It does sound as if its the Tamoxifen. I hope it settles down for you, living with side effects is a frustrating part of recovering from breast cancer treatment. Best wishes
