Be sure you check out all other possibilies before assuming you have side effects of this drug. Since starting on this drug 4 months ago I have severe shoulder pain. Not fully accepting my oncologist's answer of a side effect, I saw a orthopaedic surgeon. I have a bone spur in my left shoulder that is beginning to tear my shoulder muscle. Have a "side effect?" Get a 2nd opinion.

I have diarrhea daily, some nausea, weight gain, peripheral neuropathy of my hands and feet, joint pain, dizziness, blurry vision, extreme fatigue and now am experiencing nastiness -- much like when I would run out of my Premarin in past years. I am hoping the side effects are warranted and my cancer does not return.

Extreme diarhhea, stomach cramps, fatigue,sneezing, runny nose during first few days of taking medication. I would like to know since this is a week-end and I want to know if I may take an anti-diarhheal over the counter med to help with the diarhhea and will it agree with this medicine? Urgent question!!!!
