I have been on Anastrozol since November 2018. So far my side effects have been mild. Some back soreness, some fatigue. A few times I had tingling of my fingers and a brief dizzy spell( on the very first day of taking the Anastrozol). Staying active helps a lot.

@lisman1408 Started October 1, 1028. Felt fine for the first couple of months and then was hit with severe body aches. It passed after a couple of weeks and now I've been fine. I do think that sometimes the bottom of my feet hurt. If I continue to feel like I am now all will be good. Doctors have told me I must exercise and I need to get going on that. Also to take supplements because it can effect your bones. I do notice if I keep moving I feel better.

I had many side effects, some mild but the worst was the mood swings and moodiness/depression. It was like being 16 again with PMS. I also experienced fatigue, sleeping 12 hours a night with a 2 hour midday nap, hot flashes, stomach upset, muscle ache etc. Being off it I know is temporary but I’m dreading going back on it

I lasted a month on arimidex, I had all the side effects. Insomnia, loss of appetite, fatigue, headaches, bone/joint pain, nausea/vomiting, mood swings, irritability, loss of focus. Just miserable. My oncologist had told me I’d feel much, much worse on this med and he was right. I’ll see him tomorrow for recommendations. But for quality of life issues I can’t continue on this med.
