Here are the listed side effects for Tamoxifen: Tamoxifen side effects   Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Stop using tamoxifen and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects: sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body; sudden headache, confusion, problems with vision, speech, or balance; chest pain, shortness of breath, or coughing up blood; pain or swelling in one or both legs; unusual vaginal bleeding or discharge; irregular menstrual periods; pain or pressure in your pelvic area; fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms; pale skin, easy bruising or bleeding; new breast lumps; or nausea, stomach pain, low fever, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes). Less serious tamoxifen side effects may include: hot flashes, warmth or tingly feeling under your skin; bone, joint, or tumor pain; redness or skin changes; swelling in your hands or feet; vaginal itching or dryness; depressed mood, weakness; weight loss; nausea; cough, sore throat; decreased sex drive, impotence, or difficulty having an orgasm; headache, dizziness; or thinning hair. This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Tell your doctor about any unusual or bothersome side effect.   It lists menstrual problems, yet easy bleeding or bruising.  I hope this info helps.  You can find the drug info here.   Angi
