Been on anastrozole since December 2013 with no side effects. My weight has stayed about the same. Need to lose weight but not been too successful.
I think the Anastrozole is also starting to affect my emotions. It seems to make me very weepy and upset over stupid, little things. Does anyone else have this problem?
I started the anastrozole about 2 months ago...side effects so far:
Achy body, waking up in the middle of the night, some joint pain, fatigue.
Some days are better than others... If the sun is shining I'm feeling better. I am taking Advil and Tylenol... but the Advil seems to work better. I take the anastrozole at 12:30 pm every day. My doctor suggested that I take it midday so that the side effects are more manageable. .... So the achiness might hit me in the middle of the night instead of all day long. I have also tried some very small amount of THC gummies ( it's legal where I live) ... I'm concerned about all the Advil and Tylenol and how it affects your body ....not sure if the gummies will work yet . I just started that last week. They helped me sleep.
Last week I wanted to quit. Today it's not so bad. I'm just taking it day by day and trying to deal with the side effects.
I started anastrozole after my hysterectomy. I'm somewhat fatigued but mostly my bones are achy
Thanks for the replies. I am also extremely fatigued . It's been tough going thru this whole thing very tough. Good luck to everyone.
