I want to second the comment on trying different manufacturers. I was on a generic anastrozole and on the verge of giving it up because of the terrible side-effects; I refilled the prescription one more time and things got better. Over the month all my bad side-effects went away; my drug store had changed the supplier/manufacturer of the anastrozole they use. I was just lucky. I would not have known that the filler/so called non -active components could make the difference between my ability to take this AI drug I needed.

Yes. Good you found a different mfg. It DOES make a difference. Get to know your pharmacist WELL
Mine was willing to look things up for me and allowed me to pick her brain. She looked into the half life theory I had, said shed research it for me and call me back. She did.

Which one did you try? I have the brand name not a generic, but the hot flashes I hate and other little side effects like hip pain.
