I didn't take the aromatase drugs due to initial side effects, so I can't comment on your specific question BUT.......I do want to offer that in my experience doctors often downplay all side effects from drugs and treatment. I think they believe if you don't think it's going to happen.....it won't happen (?) You may experience side effects from withdrawal and please don't let doctors tell you that you aren't feeling what you feel. We are all individuals and react to things in different ways. It's one of my pet peeves with medical people in general. Congrats on finishing the full five years! Hugs
