Hi everybody, I am new to this forum. I had a double masectomy in January 2017 and was prescribed Anastrpzole, since taking these meds (have to take them for 5 years) very few symptoms at first but for the past 3 months I feel extremely tired when waking up from a nine hours sleep, I can do no more than go and lie down for a couple of hours before I can start the day. I feel very irritable (not sure if this is because the tiredness makes me feel depressed (in othr words, very unhappy) Also I have developed a trigger finger which is listed as one of the side effects. I cannot imagine feeling this tired all the time until I came of this med. I think it may help me somewhat if I know I am not alone with my symptons. Just wanted to say how good it is to now that this forum is available. Thank you.
Welcome to the forum, Petal & Sorry to hear you’re having issues with anastrazole.
It may also be an idea to post on & hormone treatment in ‘going through treatment board’, where you will be able to talk with others going through similar. This part of the forum is generally quieter.

Wishing you well with it all
