Anastrozole
Hi Everyone I am wondering if anyone who is taking Anastrozole can share any side effects you have experienced with me. Also have your side effects stayed the same or improved of time. Also how you ma...
@Maxiash I was on anastrozole from 2017 to 2019 then did tamoxifen for 6 months and switched back to anastrozole in 2020.
Of the 2 Anastrozole has had the least side effects.
Yes it’s different for each individual which side effect you might get. Most do get the joint aches. When I was just on Anastrzole I would get a bit blocked up. Just took movacol to get moving. My biggest problem has been I don’t get enough exercise and I am a desk jockey at work, which doesn’t help with the constipation problems that I used to get, I reduced my work hrs dramatically which helped a lot. I thought I had a reasonable diet but found I had to change the fruit I ate Plus. Drink heaps more water.
As for hot flushes they settled down but I still get them. Theres a new medication for that issue if it happens.
Our Drs can only do their best to treat us, And adjust as needed. Melatonin help with falling asleep. because I had a high % on my hormone results 98 & 97. AI was and is a must for me.
I hope when you start back up the side effects are minimal and settle to tolerable once the body adjusts.
