Did anyone have thicker hair after stopping Tamoxifen?

I have been given the OK by my Onc to stop taking Tamoxifen. Needless to say I am thrilled. My problem is I have lost so much of my hair while I was taking it. Has anyone seen an improvement in their hair after they stopped taking it

    I continue to lose hair after stopping Tamoxifen and it's been 2 years! Sorry to be a "Debbie-downer"

    This is not good to hear. I am 4 + years on Letrozole and will be going onto Tamoxifen @ year 5. I already have had significant thinning from Letrozole.

    I didn't necessarily notice on my head..but everywhere else definitely has gotten thicker (legs, armpits, pubic)...but it took quite a while to realize the difference (like a year). I had assumed it was all thinning more because of the removal of ovaries. But it has gotten noticeably thicker in the year since I stopped the tamoxifen.
