Have you had withdrawal side effects after stopping Arimidex!
Hi everyone It’s been a while since I’ve been here! I saw my oncologist on Tuesday re stopping Arimidex. I was thinking of stopping anyway but Arimidex being discontinued gave me a little push. ...
Great that you can come off the Arimidex @Hopes_and_Dreams .... have a chat to your Onc about coming off it 'slowly' rather than a sudden stop - even if it means going back on it again, but reduced dose (getting less every week) for a while? Hopefully that will help alleviate the side effects. There are lots of meds that they 'wean off' gradually (steroids, opioids & others) ... and I reckon that AIs should be one of them ... (AND should wean on too!!)
I am currently coming off 6 years of Anastrozole & am doing it slowly - and so far, so good - no side effects! None of the aches & pains either, that I'd had whilst on it full-time! :smile: I'll be off it for good, soon!
