<p>Have been taking Tamoxifen for about one year. My cholesterol and triglycerides have tripled. Anyone else have this happen while taking tamoxifen? Also high blood pressure that was very controlled for 10 years is also high again. Just reaching out to see if others have experienced the same effect.</p>
