Exactly I am small boned I stand 5'2 and weigh 120 that's why I question the dosage. I don't usually tolerate medication well and after my last experience wonder about the one dosage fits all mentality.

@jeannie53, have you spoken to your oncologist about reducing the dose based on size and weight? I also wonder if dosage would depend on tumor type and stage, % chance of recurrence, and whether tamoxifen is being used for prevention or reducing risk of recurrence. I'd be interested to hear what s/he has to say.

@lisman1408 did you always take 10 mg or did you start on the standard dose of 20 mg and then decide to reduce with your oncologist given the side effects?
