Anastrozole - is there a 'best' time to take it?

Hi, glad to hear you are recovering well 

I take mine at bed time but not sure if there is an optimal time tbh. 

Best wishes x 

It could still be your recovery after surgery. It's hard to put it done to just one thing. I take mine in the morning at breakfast time. I am at about week 6 of taking it. I find energy levels are generally ok throughout the day. And sleep isn't too bad... Well apart from the duvet being thrown off and on for the odd hot flush. Good luck trying to find what works for you. 

Hi,  I've been taking it for just over a year now and take it as soon as I wake up.  Touch wood no major side affects,  I was tired for maybe 3 or 4 months at beginning but put it down to Radiotherapy, I get hot flushes which is really annoying as didn't get them through my first natural menopause...lol.  I hope you get on okay with it and get no issues.

Hi. Pleased to hear your recovery is going well. I have been on Anastrozole for about a year now and take it in the morning immediately before breakfast. This way it helps me to remember to take it at more or less the same time each day. Wishing you all the best. 

Hi Ellis123 , I’m another Anastrozole pill popper, and I also take it when I wake up to make sure I don’t forget. I don’t know if there’s any medical advice re best timing but felt I might forget if it was during the day, and like to take it with a big mug of water so wouldn’t choose to drink that much just before going to bed. Love and hugs, HFxx 

Hi Kitty1, I've shifted to taking mine at bedtime and have slept really well since. Hoping this continues x

Hi it’s mine just before bed, but I do get terrible hot flushes and aching bones but it’s bearable better to take it than not

food luck x
