Has anyone had bad experience with anti eostrogen I was put on anastrazole bad side effect then put on tramazole I had more bad side effect

Im really sorry to hear you've had tk stop the tablets.What kind of side effects were you having.I'm on anastrazole and olaparib.

I do get aching joints , back and painful knees that swell which I thought was due to Olaparib but now think could be down to anastrazole .

I get pretty bad hot flushes too and I'm tired all the time but the tiredness is probably due to the parp.

Thank you for replying to me I was anastrazole and crying from morning till night no energy whatsoever and about forty sweats a day then tried tamoxifen. Again crying daily although sweats not so bad shortness of breath which I also had on anastrazole. Had oc stage four after op few months later cancer cells in two of my lymph nodes

Hi I have been on letrozole since 2019 and at 1st had some unwanted side effects but subsided after a few weeks . Previous to that I was on Tamoxifen for about 6 months but the side effects were quite bad . However I know people , particularly breast cancer patients who tolerate it really well , so it is indivdualWhen you said tramazole did you mean Tamoxifen? As far as I know tramazole is used for tapeworms in sheep & cattle 😀 so expect you meant something else unless I am wrong

Is it worth asking oncologist if you could try letrozole

Ps my worse side effect when 1st taking letrozole was muscle aches but did settle down xx

Thank you for replying to me and yes I did mean tamoxifen don’t know where the brain was. It made me feel really anxious and I was crying non stop no energy and horrendous sweats. I will ask about letrozole I am meeting with her on 20th of this month thank you for supplying me with thisinformation

I have been taking Letrozole since 2018 for breast cancer. I still have hot flushes, particularly since my OC surgery. I also suffered from joint and muscle pain, but this settled down after a few months. It does take a while to settle down and I struggled at first.

Thanks for your reply have feeling they won’t offer letrozole as it was oc I had

[Spirit22 in reply to Madmolly]
