Side effects?: The most experienced side effects of all hormonal therapy are menopausal symptoms (ie.Hot flashes, etc). There is a small increased risk of blood clots similar to hormone replacement therapy, in women with an intact uterus, there can be irreg bleeding and thickening of the uterine wall. If ignored this can rarely progress to uterine cancer that can be cured with a hysterectomy.

Is there a difference in taking 1-20mg pill a day or 1-10mg 2x a day (AM/PM)? Don't you end up getting the same amount either way? I'm speaking of Tamoxifen?
