Recovery time after Anastrozole/aromatase inhibitors

@karlsjenine. Karla, I too had insomnia, sometimes pacing the floor for 3 hours every night. The only thing that helped me was a moderate nightly dose of Gabapentin, 300 MG. I was able to wean myself down to 100 MG for most nights. I just stopped Anastrazole, having stayed on it for 5 yrs, with a few short breaks due to severe joint and tendon pain. But some of that pain may be due to the prolia injections. Good luck everybody.

@lindatoth I have a degree of insomnia too but ever since beginning Anastrozole I have had very vivid and at time sinister dreams, the kind that don’t leave you the next morning!
I actually look forward to dreamless sleep! but seldom achieve it. I’m interested as to how often you felt the need to have treatment pauses for pain etc? I had to take an eight week break about five months into treatment as I had so much back and leg pain it was suggestive of spinal cord compression. Now two years in am hoping the next three go quickly - how awful to be ‘wishing your life away ‘ like that! I cannot wait to be rid of this drug.
