so I started Tamoxifen October 1, 2015. My surgeon told me a few of the side effects were Blood clots in the legs, low sex drive, no interest in sex at all, heavier periods..... So far I have had heavier periods.... possibly some hot flashes.... what side effects have you experienced. I just turned 40 in August... and did not have to do chemo, only radiation.

    I just started Tamox last week. I haven't had a period since before chemo 9 months ago. Sex drive/libido has been in the toilet since chemo so I don't think I'd notice a change in that. The only thing I've noticed so far is pain in my spine and hips that started the other night. A heating pad helped but I still feel kinda achy all over
