9 months on Arimidex
I' 54, and after bi-lateral mastectomies in May 2015 I started on Arimidex in June 2015. I've had what seems to be massive side affects (to me anyway). The first thing I noticed was utter depression,...
Hi Sandy, I have been on arimidex since October 2015. I can totally relate to the depression, and not wanting to leave the house. I have tried a couple of anti depressants but couldn't cope with the side effects. I am seeing a psychologist which has been helpful.
The hot flushes and the joint pain aren't much fun but like you I am willing to put up with it if it means I keep my NED status. I haven't had the metallic taste or nausea as yet. That sounds to much like chemo all over again.
Thank you for your post,
Take care Lorraine
