I have been on tamoxifen for a little over a year. I make sure to take magnesium. I have gained some weight, I am more irritable. Other than that it isn’t too bad 😂. I Make sure to workout at least 5 days a week to keep my strength up.

I just started Tamoxifen 3 days ago. I was worried about side effects but so far nothing.
