Hi all, thank you so much for your posts, I've used some already. I just started Anastrozole a bit over a month ago. Noticed side effects right away. My doctor asked me to hang in there as prescribed till my appt with her in June. However, I found an article about taking it every other day and in the AMs instead of PMs and now my hot flashes are gone and aches are much better. I am not happy with the way I feel overall though, I seem to have a mental fog always and the insomnia is still bad. I am toying with the idea of stopping, as benefit takes an 11% risk of recurrence down to 6%, which isn't too much difference in my opinion. My doctor is not very good at explaining things to me, and I haven't told her I've halved the dose.
