I also eat dried prunes 3 or 4 a day! No matter how much water I drink - all moisture is sucked out by the drug. I also have Acne!! Not sure if it's from the lack of estrogen. But it's annoying!

Yes! Dry EVERYWHERE. Within three months of starting anastrozole all my moisture was gone. And yes to the acne... I’m 66 and had to go to the dermatologist for acne for the first time in my life. I now apply prescription-strength Retin-A to my face to control it. The cream hasn’t completely gotten rid of the acne but with consistent use it keeps the things reasonably under control. The consensus is that it’s the loss of estrogen that is the culprit.
