Timing of HRT, anastrozole - taking day or night?

I have been on anastrozole for about a month. I was worried about side effects like nausea, dizziness, joint pain. I think this works best for me. I do have bone and joint pain during the day so I try to walk every day and push through the pain. I try to avoid ibuprofen because I donated a kidney.

I have been on anastrozole for 11 months. I am taking it at night right before going to bed. It gives me hot flashes at night but I am not too bothered with it. (Any menopausal women could be getting it, right? 🙂
I second walking everyday or at least being active at home - go up and down, move around, cook, wash the dishes, etc.

Hi all, I am on exemestane, another hormone blocker like anastrozole
When I take exemestane an hour before bedtime, I get hot flashes.
So I started taking it around 1 PM to 2 PM, and I do not have hot flashes.
You might try taking this blocker earlier in the day and find that your hot flashes
will go away.

I take the hormone blocker, tamoxifen. I take it at night, because my biggest concern is my mood swings of anger, (I am not, normally an angry person), and sadness, with crying. I am asleep and so do not subject myself and others to this behavior. Everyone should test the time that works the best for them, and their particular side effects.

I took letrozole in the morning first thing.

Hi,
I started Anastrozole in the morning today and by 3pm I came down with low fever. Did anyone have fever on the first day?

I have metastatic breast cancer and I take Anastrozole in the morning with Claritin which really helps with the bone pain it’s key for me. I take my oral chemo at dinner. I tried a few different ways but this worked the best for me.

Thanks for the tip! I'll try Claritin if I start to feel bone pain. Big hugs.

You can also take the generic Claritin usually found at Walmart under the Equate brand. ♥️

Thank you!
