I went off anatrozole due to bad side effects. I went on low dose antidepressants to help with anxiety, even my moods and I felt more like me again. I started Exemestane and did have a few side effects( hand joints pain and insomnia)I have started acupuncture which has also help tremendously!!! I plan on going off antidepressant in a few months, but will talk to Doctor first. I also do healthy yoga 2-3x a week, walk and swim. All have helped. I go to MDAnderson in Houston. Let me know if I can answer any questions

Very helpful! Thank you so much for your input.
I’m so happy you are feeling better.
Thanks again for sharing!

I've been wanting to try acupuncture for the joint pain from exemestane and anastrozole. Does one session help any or do you need multiple sessions? Just concerned about the cost.
