Would like to hear from women taking anastrozole and the side effects they are having and at what stage they appeared.

If you scroll up to the upper left of your comment, where it says breast cancer, click on that then use that search to search anastrazole it will pop up a ton of active comments, and discussions about this drug.
I hope you can try to remember that a lot of us take this drug with little to no trouble. The folks who comment the most on these groups are the ones needing support and advice, not necessarily the majority of folks taking these medicines.
I had some side effects related to early loss of estrogen since I was in my 30s when I was diagnosed. I didn’t have any side effects more serious than truly annoying.
How long have you been taking anastrazole?

It takes up to 6wks for the medication to build up in your body and then several months to get used to it.
