Anyone switch from Aromatase inhibitors to Tamoxifen?

Hi! @debds :
I am so glad that the medication Anastrozole from the manufacturer named "Accord" works out for you:) Thanks for posting this helpful information!
One strange situation happened to me lately and I am curious whether this happened to any one else as well? I've been using Anastrozole from Accord for quite some time now; however, when I tried to refill this prescription recently, the pharmacist of my local CBS told me that they couldn't fill this order for me, because the staff from Accord told them that its product Anastrozole was being "backordered" and could not tell them when it will be available again. Did this happen to anyone before? What did you do to fix this "product being backordered" issue? Thanks in advance for any tips!
Wishing you all a better journey ahead with hope, peace and love!

@lifetraveler My pharmacy started having trouble sourcing tamoxifen last summer, and has changed manufacturers a couple of times. You may be having similar issues now with the AI. Teva, Zydus and Dr Reddy’s lab are a few that make generic anastrozole.
For over 2 years my tamoxifen came from Mayne Pharma. They had to switch to Dr Reddy’s lab and now Aurobindo both in India. The pharmacy said disruptions in shipping and sourcing around the world has caused problems with consistent delivery of pharmaceuticals.
I started researching all this because I thought Dr Reddys lab had made a mistake - I started having symptoms reflective of hormone changes right when the pharmacy changed to them. But as it turns out, it was probably hypothyroidism. Next lab by endocrinologist will confirm that, or not.
