Q: Tamoxifen And Weight Gain

Just wondering how many have gained weight while taking tamoxifen. I have been on it for 1 year now and I have put on about 15 pounds. It happened so fast, I was always someone that could eat whatever and not worry about weight gain, so this is new.

Besides tamoxifen I have not had a period since my second round of chemo in april of 2002 and I am 45 now. So I guess it could be these three factors.

My real question is, is anyone done with 5 years of tamoxifen that gained weight while on it, if so I you lost any since you have completed the tamoxifen?

Thanks for any info Smile
