Hi

I have been taking anastrozole for 4weeks _I just wondered if anyone else has been suffering from nausea

and if so what have you taken ? Is this a side effect

Thanks ST 1

Hi ST1

I have now been on Anastrazole since 1 May and have persevered with it. I found the initial nausea very distressing but kind of treated it like morning sickness as I worked out what time of day I felt worse and ate around it. I took the A at bedtime and felt awful by 11am. Then the tiredness kicked in so I learned to take a nap around 1 for an hour. I am really glad I have kept going as although I would say overall I feel quite fatigued and force myself to work through it (we own and run a village shop, open 7 days a week) I feel comforted that the drugs are my best chance of keeping the nasties at bay as was unable to have chemo.
