I will start taking Anastrozole 1mg, anyone taking this and what kind of side effects should I expect? I was on tomoxifen and then had a hysterectomy so my oncologist changed me to this pill.

I agree with @A MyBCTeam Member, everyone's experience is different. I've been on it 2-1/2 months and have hot flashes and fatigue.

I'm off tomoxifen now, never really caused me any problems, really sorry about your sister, but really didnt need to hear that :(

All of those drugs give me horrible depression and GYN symptoms that cause recurrent UTI. I have been on 3 drugs since June. Taking nothing now.

Thanks for your response, I've been on it two days now, I haven't had any problems yet, but it's still early. My oncologist is having me checked for osteoporosis, from what I understand, that can be a side effect too, good luck to you!!
