Hi. I’ve been taking Anastrozole for just over a year. Has anyone found that they have different levels of anxiety with different brands? I have started a new brand recently and have noticed that my anxiety levels have increased lately and that I am more affected emotionally by things, than I would expect. Just wondering if anyone has experienced similar?
Hi, I've not had this experience myself but it does seem that different brands do have different side effects. Maybe it's worth asking your GP to stipulate the brand on your prescription so you get the one that works best for you. Best wishes
