Hi all

Well i’ve been on the Tamoxifen for 8 weeks now and have suffered with the hot flushes which seem to have calmed down now.

I thought I was going to be a ‘lucky’ one and not suffer too badly but I was so wrong!!! Since Saturday i’ve been lightheaded, nauseous, my eyes are gritty, upset stomach etc… It looks like the Tamoxifen is kicking in and playing havoc with my body.

I’m on CP Pharmaceuticals and wondered if anyone had any tips to help me with these side effects. I take 20mg at about 6pm in the evenings. Would switching brands or splitting dosage help me?

Thanks is advance

Hi Pooter

I take mine (same dosage) before I go to bed just so I sleep thru the nausea. However, the hot fllushes come and go, even while on Evening Primrose Oil which was recommended by my oncologist. It doesnt seem to matter which brand Im on, Im afraid.

Regards
Anne
