just wondered what strength tamoxifen are people taking, i know its made in 10, 20 and 40 mg I think, but wondered are people put on different strengths and if so why?
thanks TTM
Hi TTM I am on 20mg, which is pretty much standard for adjuvant use I think.
Yes I’m on 20mg as well

I was on 20mg too
I’m on 20mg too. Reading the paperwork in the packet it can also be used to treat certain forms of infertility (doesn’t say what type)!
I think the 10mg are so the 20mg can be split into twice a day. The higher dose, I think, is what they use if required for the fertility side of things.

I was on 20mg and they split it to 10mg twice a day x
what are benefits to taking 2 10mg then a day, is it better for side effects?
Hi
My friend had hers split to 2x 10mg to ease her hot flushes!
Twinky x
I tried the 10mg twice a day… for me no different for side effects 
Maybe I’m just hotter stuff than I realise?! ;0)
To be honest a year on I’ve got used to the regular drownings (they are always within a few minutes of the same time every day).
I’ve just started a few days ago on this too at 20mg p/d. It’s making me nauseous already!
jetner,
try taking it a little after food, they say that helps with nausea. i have done this from start, only been on it 2 weeks and it seems to be ok so far for sickness - touch wood!!
