Arimidex side effects
Hi
Just started Arimidex yesterday (under protest but agreed with doctor to at least try it).
Today I have a headache on one side of my head and nausea.
Early side effect?
Cheers
Haven't been on the site for a while but saw your post. I have been on Arimidex for 6 months now, after about one week I found myself a little short tempered but that passed. My bones do ache from time to time and I take Panadol Osteo quite a bit and it eases the pain. I protested about going on the drug, after reading all the side effects we could get, it was really scary. My oncologist said I could get one side effect, all the side effects or none. I weighed up the pros and cons and gave it ago and things are ok for now. As for the risk of long term effects, that's a gamble I've taken, I certainly don't want a reoccurance of BC. We are all so different, so give them a go and make notes for your next visit to the oncologist and let them guide you, hope this helps, all the best,
