    femara
    I take mine at night. When I read the side effects, one was drowsiness.

    Take it PM
    I take arimidex but my sister takes femara. They are very close chemically--both aromatase inhibitors. We both had trouble with extreme fatigue taking either one in the am. Both of us now take it in the evening and have done much, much better.
