I've been on anastrozole since march 2012, also have to have four weekly Arimidex (gossorine) injections. Throughout I have suffered with numb hands , stiff joints and hand pain at night. In the night I say to myself I'm going to quit, once I'm up and around I say to myself - awww I will continue. I've been a steady 7stone 11 , even after the birth of my daughter. I got on the scales today and I'm 8 stone 12. I'm sure it's the meds . I feel depressed and sluggish so my question is - can I quit the meds ???
