I took tamoxifen for 4.5 years and gained SOOOO much weight. And the worst part is that for the first year after that, I could not budge the weight. Thank God for Atkins!

Between the tamoxifen and my thyroid not wanting to work ... I was up a creek. But, yes, I've heard many, many stories of weight gain on tamoxifen.

I had my surgery and treatment in '96, and took the tamoxifen until 2001. And until I started Atkins last September, nothing worked.
