Cedar You said everything I have been saying and asking. I am also very petitie and was always highly sensitive to any medications.
I was put on Anastrazole 1mg in 2019. Left breast mastectomy. Chemo. Radiation. I am also small and feel like I am being overdosed and have asked about going off or taking half. Suddenly I have issue rising in areas that I never had issues. GI, thyroid, anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, rapid heart rate....etc. They are ready with a drug or scan fo every symptom, but will not hear of checking estrogen levels or alternate therapies. It makes no sense that there is a one size fits all to this. My question to you......why are you choosing to continue to take the hormone therapy? I only ask because I am seriously considering stopping it and trying only natural treatments. The anxiety alone of every side effect and every scan I get because I mention the side effect is debilitating. And, of course, the answer to that has been cymbalta. I don't want more medications and more side effects to consider. Each one leads to another issue.
