What problems have you had with Tamoxifen?

I'm wondering if anyone has explored tamoxifen hair loss in the context of not only how to try and keep some hair but what has worked for hair retention? I ask this because I run a bit cold at night and have been using a heating pad under my back, neck and lower back of head (where hair is), and I noticed that my hair is thinning significantly right where I had the heating pad. So I've been not doing that for a week and putting ice packs on the back of my head in hopes of seeing some improvement or at least slowing the thinning.
I totally welcome any and all ideas about how to keep ones hair while effectively keeping cancer at bay with Tamoxifen!!!

Strictly for what it's worth, I tried Biotin Forte (biotin with important zinc recommended for chemo patients by another renowned Clinic) to grow stronger nails. It didn't work so I gave it to a male friend who was in a long post-surgery rehab facility. It stopped his hair from falling out and he was in the throes of congenital male pattern baldness that left his male relatives shiny-domed. He ran out of it for a week and hair loss resumed at the former schedule and stopped when he resumed taking it.
