Anastrozole fatigue - what helps?

Posted by flowergal @flowergal, Apr 22, 2024

I'm having a tough time staying alert/ awake in the afternoon since I started this drug.
I'm using energy patches, drinking electrolytes but I still crash and have to lie down and I fall into deep sleep.
Hard to get much done. Any thoughts?

They are wrist patches that I wear when I know it's going to be a long day.
Not sure they are effective for everyone.

Exactly! That’s it. I have the same issues. Also, foggy thinking. I just take a couple days break when it gets to be too much. This drug stays in your system for quite awhile. That, to me, is part of the problem since it is a daily prescription. Wondering if it builds up with taking it daily.
