Dosage/time Of Day Taking Tamoxifen

Trying to c how others take tamox. I'm taking liquid(1tsp...10mg) morn & night for total of 20mg a day. Im very tired..Dr doesn't think from med but says can try all at night(I asked). Now that I think about it I'm afraid to do that cause he says the more sedentary u r the more risk of blood clots...which is a fear of mine!! Help!! Thx.

I was taking it at night and then developed insomnia so now I do half and half and that has helped my sleeping. I am not sure what caused the insomnia but it seems to work if I split the pill

Take 20mg tablet first thing in the morning. I'm sure I would forget if I took at night.

I take a 20 mg tablet 1 time a day, mid morning - 8-9 am ish and always with food. I started at night, then slowly backed it down to am instead. I feel a bit better.
