@malebreastcancer47 I'm also taking 10 mg Tamoxifen, just started Jan. 1st this year. I'm doing ok but I've noticed a slight weight gain (unusual for me), so I'm working to get a few extra pounds off. I've heard others say that they gained weight while on Tamoxifen. I'm curious what side effects, if any, you've experienced?

@jmab
In addition to Tamoxifen, I am also diabetic, take Mounjaro, a statin.
The side effects from Tamoxifen are mostly menopause related as Tamoxifen blocks estrogen.
Irritability, brain fog, fatigue, drowsiness, loss of libido.
I started on 20 mg but after a year, asked Mayo team to please reduce as I could not tolerate quality of life, as I still work.
