Anyone on an aromatase inhibitor dealing with anxiety, cry easily?

I am sorry you are going through this. I did as well. At first just a little teary and full on "Ugly Cry" for absolutely no reason. My Doctor has switched me to Letrozole which I seem to tolerate better. Also changed from Verensio to Kisqali which at least stays down but the tiredness, headaches and nausea are debilitating.

Could the headaches come from Letrozole? I had Letrozole for 4 months. It was ok for the first 2 months, then I had aura headaches several times a week before it turned into full blown migraines/ headaches. One time it was so bad that it woke me up at night. I stopped it even before I talked to my onco. I’m on exemestane now for 8 months. So far so good. Just some joint pains here and there but tolerable. If you haven’t tried exemestane, give it a try. It seems better tolerated for lots of us.

@ccc1965 I take Letrozole and the pressure/tension headaches are awful. My bones have depleted and my previously controlled arthritis is back with vigor. I am seeing my oncologist on the 24th. I am only 9 months in since surgery and the headaches are awful 2 to 3 times every day.
I was hoping to move to Anastrazole but maybe not. Sounds like the issues are the same. At 70, I hate to wish the time to go by quickly but it is hard to withstand the side effects.
