ladies have you any advice on these pills ? I found I was great the first fortnight or so .legs better not so stiff. Buti now find I'm not sleeping more than two hours but need toilet .i am tired and weepy. I have started taking it at night .to see if that will help but it doesn't. Have you any ideas? I drink less and hope this helps but not making much difference.
Thanks pansy .
Hi Pansy
Are you referring to the TEVA brand of Anastrozole? It is widely thought that different brands affect people differently - the active ingredient is the same but the additives vary.
I have just gone back to using TEVA as leg pain seemed to be worse using ACCORD brand of Anastrozole.
Perhaps you should chat to your GP or BCN and consider a different brand.
Take care.
A thank you for replying . Have just discussed it with pharmacy and they will take the accord ,back and are trying to send Teva . So will try Teva for another month . They all cause side effects so will see how I get on .
Take care thank you pansy.
