I got some of the possible side effects of Nolvadex (tamoxifen is the generic word for it) for you:
· an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives);
· possible symptoms of a stroke such as unusual weakness, drowsiness, confusion, or difficulty walking or talking;
· possible symptoms of a blood clot in the lung such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or coughing up blood;

bone pain;
pelvic pain or pressure;
· pain or tenderness in the upper abdomen;
