Started in December and no side effects for me either. I also take mine at night. Take vitamins and eat healthy. I'm also doing acupuncture and massage along with exercise. I was really scared to take it but so far so good!

Started Tamoxifen in October. I've continued to put on some weight. But now I am really reducing my calories and I am not gaining more. My doctor said it's not uncommon to gain weight with Tamoxifen. Every once in a while my thigh aches, but now that I am taking calcium supplements with vitamin D, I don't notice it as much. My body temperature is a rollercoaster at night. I can't decide if I sm hot or cold.

I started it in June and haven't had any side effects. Everyone is different though. I take mine at night, so at least I'm sleeping if I got a hot flash or anything. I'm very active runner & triathlete), take my vitamins and eat healthy. I'm assuming the combo of it all helps..,but again everyone reacts differently. I heard plenty of not so positive stories so wanted to make sure you heard a positive one :) Best of luck to you.

such a cute pic! I was on Tamoxifen for 7 years, I did gain weight. I really didn't have that many problems, premature hot flashes but overall I tolerated very well. i was on it a long time with great results and it worked well for a long time for me after I adjusted
