I have finished 4 chemo treatments, 20 radiation treatments, and just completed 18 infusions of herceptin and perjeta. I am to start taking Anastrozole. My side effects I am dealing with are neuropathy in my fingers and muscle spasms (Charlie horses) all over my body. I deal with knee pain. Anyone who is taking Anastrozole, what kind of side effects do you experience? Do you take it in the morning or night?

I have been on Anastrozole for almost 3 years and do have some problems (Arthritis)in my fingers. I drink a lot of water and that helps with the muscle spasms. I also try to walk an hour each day.

I've had pain, burning, and tingling in my feet. I was taking it during the day tho, should I be taking it at night?

I also take mine in the morning with my other meds.
My most important side effect is hot flashes sometimes.
Other than that, I feel pretty good.

I have had no side effects. I worry that I have had none. Nada. No, pain, no little pain, no brain fog, no headaches, no hot flashes, nothing.
