I went off my anastrozole about 3 weeks ago after 7 years, and started feeling horrible. Couldn't figure out why. My daughter just realized it started happening when I went off it. Makes sense now, started to get scared. The fatigue, horrible body aches, incontinence, weakness. I can hardly wait to feel better

I tapered. Maybe that would help-?

If this was me, I'd check in with my primary care doc as all of these symptoms sound like they might also be an unrelated infection--viral or bacterial. That is, if you have a flu-like illness or even an atypical UTI you'd have these symptoms. If you are not additionally ill, the doctor might have advice too if this is the anastrozole. Personally, I have come off my AI for brief "vacations" and never had symptoms. Wishing you the best!

I had no withdrawal symptoms when I went off anastrazole after five years. Just no more severe diahrea. Little hair loss now. With the help,of WW was able to lose weight
