Shouldn't have to wait at all, that is if you would be willing to give a mood stabilizer such as lithium or Depakote a trial to see if it lowers your anxiety levels after a while. Here's a quote from the article: "Like lithium and valproate, tamoxifen affects protein kinase C (PKC). PKC plays a pivotal role in regulating neuronal excitability, neurotransmitter release and long-term synaptic events, according to Manji. Tamoxifen is the only selective PKC inhibitor available for human use.
The study sought to determine if tamoxifen would have a faster on-set of action than lithium or valproate, which can take days or even weeks to work."
