Side effects of Anastrozole

Hi Ann,

I think the side effects vary from person to person and for myself I have been on it for a year and have been lucky enough to not have experienced any.

I hope that will be the same for you and wish you all the best in your treatment

Hello Leesland123,  I have been on anastrazole for 18 months and doing pretty well.  Dry mouth is an issue and I use xyli melts at night and that helps.  Aches and discomfort in my thighs sometimes but not every day.  I make sure to exercise almost daily and it helps to be active.  No sex drive and vaginal dryness.  I have a vaginal suppository that has hyaluronic acid and works good for the dryness.  Called Revaree but only available in US and maybe Canada right now.  With 85% lower estrogen than I would normally have it is no wonder I have no sex drive.  Doctors don’t talk about that much as they focus on joint pain etc. but it is a big issue and I don’t know the cure.  Oh well all in all I am doing well and going to be 75 this month and very grateful.  
I hope you feel ok too and you hear so many things about the side effects from the AI’s but many women manage pretty well.  
Hugs to you. 
Barbara
