Taking Tamoxifen with food may help ease the nausea. The good news is that stomach-related side effects are usually mild and often improve over time. As for the cramping, Tamoxifen can cause menstrual changes, including irregular periods and heavier or lighter bleeding, which can sometimes come with cramping. However, it's really important to mention both the nausea and cramping to your doctor, especially if the cramping is new or unusual for you.

- Unusual vaginal bleeding
