Please advice regarding side effects
Dear ladies, Due to the side effects of Anastrozole I have taken one month break but still after one month experiencing the side effects. Need advice how long it takes the side effects to go away?

So sorry @Zan that you haven't experienced relief after 4 weeks of your break from Anastrozole ...... everyone is different & but some take longer than others to lessen the side effects. How long has your Onc suggested for your break? Sometimes it is for at least 2 months .....
How long have you been on it? Is it the only AI that you've tried so far? Maybe have a chat to your Onc about it - they may then suggest you try one of the others to see if the side effects are less.
The weird thing is, that I am on my 3rd AI - now on Anastrozole - and it has given me way less side effects that the other 2 I'd tried early in the piece ..... so sometimes it is a matter of just trying another one, til you find the one that 'fits' you. xx
take care & all the best with your ongoing treatment xx
