Thank you for sharing. It's hard not to over think this after having severe pain with the first med. What time of day do you take it? I was worried about the morning if it did cause dizziness about driving to work and actually performing at work. Then on the other hand, another side effect could be trouble sleeping. I already have issues sleeping. It was originally suggested to take the first med I had (Anastrozole) before bed. But if exemestane could cause sleep issues, taking before bed didn't seem like the thing to do. Did you start off with the full dose every day when you started the med? I do understand everyone's reaction is different. Just trying to gather some information.

Yes I am on full dose and I take it in the morning after breakfast.
On a side note, I was just discussing sleep with my integrative oncologist and he suggested magnesium glysinate to help relax and sleep. My PCP also recommended taking magnesium for that reason. Also doing meditation and yoga may help.
