Anyone had nausea as a side effect of tamoxifen? What helps?

Hello ladies! I just completed 13 months of tamoxifen. I was premenopausal when I started on it, but within 8 months (at age 47) I had completely lost my period; I also had all the symptoms of menopause - the hot flushes, dryness, fatigue, night sweats. However, 3 months after my period had stopped I had an issue with a huge ovarian cyst that caused extreme pain for a while. This issue resolved on its own, but now (after 5 months with no menstrual period) I had a massive bleeding episode...lots and lots of blood, no pain and no clots, but lots of brown and dark red blood. Went to my OBGYN and they decided to biopsy my endometrium. I just can't believe everything that keeps popping up....has anyone gone through something similar while on Tamoxifen? What was the outcome? Thank you for any light you can share with me.

Hi Heidi, How are you doing?

Both the Lions Mane (neural transmitter) and Turkey Tail (immune booster) that I'm taking are made by Addictive Wellness and were prescribed to me by my naturopath. You can order them as a one time order or by subscription. I was also prescribed several homeopathic remedies (all of which compliment the Tamoxifen and/or don't get in the way of it's action on estrogen receptors). I use 1/2 teaspoon of each per day in my green tea (also a good thing according to my naturopath) for treating my hormone positive, HER 2 - breast cancer). Oh and I'm doing acupuncture also as a way of dealing with any aches and pains or emotional issues (none with Tamoxifen) and doing massage weekly to help relaxation.

Again I'm doing these supplements and huge dietary changes in addition to the Tamoxifen. I feel better than I have all year now as a result of the dietary, supplement changes and stopping AI's and trying Tamoxifen! Now I'm not "trying" the tamoxifen, I'm taking the Tamoxifen as it's working for me!
