Exemestane) . I'm on exemestane and would like to take Claritin too. Will this not have an effect on the efficacy of the aromatase inhibitor (exemestane)? Is there a study on this? Thank you for any info you can share!

That is what I used for my ouchies for a while. I stopped using the tylenol extra 8 hr for arthritis about three to 4 weeks ago. It felt like to me it was making the ouchies believe it or not more ouchie. I read somewhere on this site someone posted about the rebound effect. That your body gets so use to it after a while it seems to do nothing. Plus to much of it believe it or not can raise your blood pressure, constipated you and harm your liver. So I decided to take a break from it and during the day my body has no ouchies. My whole body now seems to just relax then again is that a good thing or a bad thing. I'm not sure of anything anymore. I just feel good and that's it. But when taken it made the ouchies less.
