Did you gain weight on Tamoxifen? What helps?

I was on 20 mg but after 3 months I started having headaches 24/7 and brain fog. I have never had migraines or regular headache. I went to my family practitioner, a neurologist, and the survivorship provider. I had a brain MRI. The neurologist concluded that based on my symptoms, self-report, and MRI, the headaches were medication related.
I am now on 5 mg and seem to be okay.
I never had real hot flashes or vaginal atrophy from tamoxifen.

Hi
Thank you for that information. Because that is the only amount I will take. So we'll see what happens once. My pathology is back on the 16th.
