@A MyBCTeam Member I had HORRIBLE insomnia on Arimidex. I took it at night, right before bed. I did it at night to avoid any possible nausea issues (I'd be asleep). I didn't consider taking it in the morning to help my insomnia. Anyways, OMG horrible insomnia, and I had to get up and go to work every day. So, I had two helpful things. I have a prescription for low-dose of Ativan and tried to only take one pill a week, to get one solid night's sleep. That helped a lot! I then got a med-card (in Calif) and got CBD Oil (Cannabis oil, with very low THC-part that makes you feel high). I never felt anything, other than relaxed. The CBD oil, I just put a couple drops under my tongue at bedtime and I'd relaxingly fall asleep. I'd wake up fine the next morning for both the ativan and the CBD Oil. I heard melatonin works well, too. There were some cannabis chocolates that had melatonin that I tried. Seemed to work okay. But, I wasn't a fan of eating the chocolates at bedtime. LOL! Hope you can find something that helps on a regular basis. Insomnia really is horrible. But, hang in there, sleep is over rated. LOL - you can do this! That Arimidex worked really great for me for 16-months! Hope you see some benefits from it too!

I always take my Arimidex in the morning and have a hard time sleeping on a nightly basis. Ive never tried taking it at night, but maybe I should.....Anyway 3 mg of melatonin used to work for me now it doesn't. I tried taking 2 and it just gave me a headache and didn't keep me asleep. My PCP gave me Ambien and it did work, but I always woke up with that same headache and felt groggy all day.....finally my Onc gave me Restoril 15mg (temazapam) and it works great for me. Unfortunately I have to take it most nights. I wish I didn't bc I understand its habit forming, but at last I can rest and shut off my thoughts. I wake up feeling good and stay asleep well. Hope this helps.
