Anyone experienced dizziness or optical changes with exemastane

I was on Xeloda (affected my hands and feet) then Anastrozole (made me terribly moody) and am now on Exemestane. I am gaining some weight and still moody. I have also lost ALL my sense of taste and smell. Not sure if that's from the medicine or just from chemo and treatment in general. It's been gone for a couple years now. It's very depressing, but I'm trying to learn to live without it!

I’m sorry that’s terrible. After trying the 3 AI’s and finding them intolerable my Dr has suggested tamoxifen.
The side effect of blood clots and stroke scare me. I don’t have a uterus so I don’t have to worry about it causing uterine cancer…but knowing the drug can cause this makes me uneasy about what it can do to the rest of my body.
I’m low risk for reoccurrence and seriously
close to the point of not putting any of these evil drugs into my body. They are just horrible but so is BC.
