Just started Tamoxifen

Hi I am new to the forum. I was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer just before lock down and finished my radio last month. I started tamoxifen 2 weeks ago and feel really nervous about it. I haven't had much access to any support so would like to understand when peoples side effects started and any tips for managing them. I have been really emotional since taking but my dr said that wasn't a side effect?!
