I have been on Tamoxifen since the end of November and been having headaches and feel lightheaded in the morning.  I feel like my head is full of cotton wool.  I also have some hot flushes but they are not too bad.  My BC nurse said to start taking my Tamoxifen in the evening.  I have been to the GP and mentioned it to my consultant and nobody seems concerned.  Don't know if it is the Tamoxifen or anxiety. Has anybody else had similar symptoms and any tints to manage these symptoms.  I appreciate any reply's because it is worrying me and I don't feel myself !

    I’ve been on Tamoxifen for 5 weeks now and so far the only side affects has been the night sweats and hot flushes periodically through the day.

    i was told to take mine in the morning and make sure I drank at least a liter of water each day. Friends advised me to up my exercises, this has definitely helped ease my symptoms and my mental health.

    im sorry I don’t have the same but maybe sharing my experience might help.
