Switching from Tamoxifen to Arimidex
Hi all Has anyone done the switch from Tamoxifen to Arimidex? How did you find the change? Better off? Worse off? I know every person reacts differently to medication but would like to hear your ex...

Hi @angiesg I was on tamoxifen for 8 months then changed to arimidex. I found tamoxifen worse for pain in small joints, though arimidex certainly makes me ache. Like Melclarity I use panadol Osteo. It helps a bit. I came off tamoxifen because it made me feel really foggy mentally. I felt dramatically clearer within three days of stopping it. My bone density has deteriorated on arimidex but maybe it would have anyway. I've been on it for almost two years now. I choose the FBM Anasrozole brand as it gives money back to BCNA and research. Good luck JanineG xo
