I came down with anxiety and depression, not to mention bad joint and muscle pain, when I was on Letrozole. I have been switched to Anastrozole and am now also taking Lexapro to handle the emotional symptoms of this drug. I initially fought going on Lexapro, but I decided that I needed to do whatever I could to stay on my aromatase inhibitor. Good luck with your own journey!

I too was on lexapro after very serious brain aneurysm. If I can do it you can stay on anastrazole. Stay in the company of those that make you happy. Be good to you. This anxiety will pass.

I’m on Effexor, which initially helped quite a bit, but not for that long, if I try to increase the dose, I end up with more side effects.. Maybe it’s time to talk to my oncologist about switching to something else.. Thanks for your input, it always helps to know I’m not alone!!
