Concerned about the side effects of anastrozole

I have been following this thread for awhile now and am beginning to have real anxiety about taking anastrozole. Is it really as awful as most have said? I am starting 25 radiation treatments on Jan 22 and am to start Ana after that. My dr. said he didn't want to give me toxifen because it was harder on you. Am I beginning to worry unnecessarily? I know everyone is different but I'm really starting to feel panicky.

I started it about 2 months ago - so far only dry eyes (take Systane) and some fatigue. Or the fatigue could be from radiation, which they say can take up to a year to go away. Each person may react differently. I'm going to be getting 3 month checkups with the oncologist. I figure I can discuss with her any problems that have developed and decide how to react to them. It's got to be better than having the cancer return. I"m going to take it as long as they tell me - at least I hope to.
