I have heard of many similar side effects but non of facial hair growth. I have been on Tamoxifen for about 1 and 1/2 months. The hair on my head is growing back nicely but it’s also growing on my face....chin and side of my face where sideburns are. Going to buy some facial hair cream remover. Nobody ever mentioned that this could possibly be a side effect. Anyone out there have this embarrassment to deal with

    Well, all the hormone blockers cause menopause symptoms, and that's a common one. I've been shaving since I had a hysterectomy in 2008. Started out once a week, then twice, then three times... now I use an electric razor and life is easier.

    Yeah....I have to pluck some from my chin and the sides of my mouth. My hair also falls out at a more rapid rate than before, and I noticed that the hair on my temples is starting to change texture. Not sure how I feel about that. I might ask my hairdresser to take a closer look when I go in next. I am probably going to start going grey in the next few years, so I might as well get used to looking different...
