Tamoxifen

Hello,
I am a breast cancer survivor and I just had my uterus, cervix and one ovary removed. My oncologist suggested I stop taking tamoxifen the week before my surgery and resume taking it a week after my surgery. It's now almost two weeks since my surgery and I am dreading going back on the tamoxifen because I hate how it made me feel before the hysterectomy. I am worried about how I will feel when i start taking it again. Has anyone had experience with this? Thank you.
