After awful experience with letrozole, I started Anastrozole but only once every other day. Since then, I've found scientific paper that recommended it 3 days out of 7 since it has a longer half life than Letrozole. At first things were OK on Anastrozole but then ear pains, brain fog, big gain in weight and trigger fingers. I've now stopped Anastrozole. After 2 months, the brain fog has lifted, ears still a problem, and trigger fingers are slowly improving. Good luck.

I guess 3 months of anastrozole was good since it shrank everything, but after 3 months bad things happened. I agree with you I tried every other day like I said, but I'm still trying to get rid of some side effects 3 weeks later. I I guess it was worth it since the shrinkage was really noticeable and effective, but the side effects? After a while you begin to realize that it certainly doesn't have to be taken every other day but can be extended and then stopped and then effects are too much anyway. But I believe that we're being completely overdosed with anastrozole. You're another example. Good luck to you too.
