Okay, I have only taken 3 pills so far and I take the whole dose at night time before bed.  Today is a day were I am having numbness in my legs and I am not sure if this is a SE of Tamoxifen or not, also I have been waking up at 4 in the am for the last two mornings as well.  Nothing in the information sheet discusses sleeping issues or numbness so I am at a loss.

Hormone changes can cause circulation problems... I'm 4 months into taking tamoxifen and am now getting cramp in my feet.  Mention it to your doc...
