Hi. This is my first post. Took my first Anastrozole tablet today. Now what? How long does it take to experience symptoms?

I agree with @jkh , you may never have any side effects to the drug. I went through menopause early with endocrine therapy. You might notice some estrogen related things, although that is more common in premenopausal women than in younger women. But we are all on this crazy journey together, even though our journeys are all different. Can you tell me more about your breast cancer journey? Have you had other treatments?
Taken it for two weeks. Read that it was a fast acting drug— had a one inch black hair on my chin after 5 days. Nothing else. I am craving sweets— unusual for me

Welcome daisygirl45. You may never have unpleasant side affects. It might take months. We are all different and we are all in this battle together. Best of luck to you!
