Tamoxifen loss of appetite

Karinmamman

Hi! I have been on Tamoxifen since June 2018 so about 5 months. I can tolerate them well and don’t really have many side effects. I have always enjoyed cooking and eating healthy food. Now all of the sudden the thought of food is grossing me out. I get hungry but feel nauseous just thinking of food. I force myself to eat but I miss the joy of cooking and eating a good meal with my family. Does anyone else feel the same?

Thanks!!

Hi Karinmamman, I wish I had the loss of appetite, unfortunately for me I am always hungry - no full button here! Anyway I found an older thread that might interest you about Tamoxifen and loss of appetite.

Hi, yes I have loss of appetite. I started Tamoxifen in February of this year. I try to eat small meals throughout the day and force myself to. Food tastes fine but I am thirsty all the time which leads to drinking a lot of water which leads to feeling full. This is counter productive since I am filling up on water.

Thank you vamp eyes, I just checked out the previous thread.
