I was recently switched to Arimidex and have noticed quite a bit of hair loss-like I was going through chemo again. Has this happened to anyone else?
I was on Arimidex for about a year and did not loose any hair. The problems I had were in all my joints where it was making me totally unable to function. It was bruital. I did not want to change as I awas afraid of the Arimason as the biggeset side effect is dirreaha and I already have Crohn's disease. But I did make the switch as my oncologist told me I could not live as I as on the Arimidex. All has been ok on the Arimason, some joint pain which the oncologist says will go away when I am done the medicine. Every person's body reacts differently to medications. Perhaps it is connected to the Chemo getting out of your system and the medication. Check it out. God Bless.
I took it for five years and did not have hair loss.
I have lost almost all of my hair on arimidex and now Lupron shots-incredible hip and foot pain :(
i am on arimidex also but my hair is just now starting to grow back from taking chemo it seems to be growing ok but i will ask my dr on the 14th and will write back then
