Is it normal for the side effects of Tamoxifen to get worse?

I have been in tamoxifen since Feb this year and have been ok in it. Hot flushes, weeing more than once overnight but the worse thing is the feeling full after eating and the nausea all evening. It seems to have got worse recently is this normal. I've always taken my tablet at 6pm.

any suggestions or advice is welcome x

    Hi Poppett

    I've been taking Tamoxifen for five years- five more years to go... I've not had nausea and most of the side effects have hung around for a couple of weeks, gone, sometimes returned at about the same intensity. Sadly weight gain has remained . Also different brands seem to bring different side effects . If the nausea gets too much I imagine your doctor could give you anti nausea medication. .

    Hope things get easier.
