Aromatase Inhibitors: Did you decide to go on them or not?

I should probably start a new thread, but this is about starting and maintaining AI therapy. I want to ask the group, have any of you had serious issues with dehydration? I mean, it has been serious (like hospital serious) and I have to keep after this daily or...well, the dizziness in the a.m. is the worst. Otherwise I am healthy except feeling 10 years beyond my age of 72. I know some of you opted for brand name versions of the drugs (I'm on Anastrozole currently). Did it make any difference? I've been on this drug since October of 2021.

I found that to be true also, if I was not hydrated enough on a day, I would wake up with the dizzies. I learned this quickly and stayed hydrated and no more dizzies. Dizzy in my world is really bad.
Did you take any other treatment, like chemo or radiation? Did you have the dizzies with any of that?

I don’t remember if it’s because of the anastozole or the Prolia, but I try my very best to drink my 64oz a day, that doesn’t include my coffee. And actually, I feel so much better after a glass, it’s like my body is telling me.
