Anyone on an aromatase inhibitor dealing with anxiety, cry easily?
Has anyone else taking an aromatase inhibitor been dealing with crying very easily, and anxiety that comes out of nowhere?? It doesn’t seem to be related to anything, it just appears out of the blue.. My oncologist has me on Effexor, but it doesn’t seem to be doing that much and I really don’t want to increase my dose.. Can anyone share a similar story? Counseling isn’t really for me, I just need to deal with it on my own, and I really feel that the medication is the reason for it.. Mostly because my dr had me stop it for a couple weeks due to joint pain and everything got better.. Thanks for your input!

My oncologist said that turmeric is fine with aromatase inhibitors, but not with tamoxifen.

4 ReactionsI too had the crying for no reason and very emotional reaction to so many silly things on Anastrozole when I first started it. It was like how I felt before I got my period! Yes I still can remember that far back. It did get better maybe 3 months or so in. Hang in there for awhile let your body try to adjust. I was on it 3 1/2 years and did ok. I'm on Exemestane now. Had nasty crying jags again in the beginning more like cranky menopause this time, but had been off an AI for 4 months. Body is adjusting. Everyone's body reacts differently. I wish us all well trying to get thru this precarious time. Hope and love
