Discontinuing Anastrozole side effects

Anonymous

I stopped taking Anastrozole after being on it for several months after hormone test showed I am post menopausal. I had been on Tamoxifen for 3-1/2 years prior. The joint/bone pain was so bad and my doctor said to stop for 2 weeks to see if symptoms improved. They did not so I stayed off for another 3 weeks without doctor's knowledge. Now realizing this was probably not a good idea. I am having bleeding after almost 4 years of no period. Started getting heavy today. Not sure if this is a side effect of having stopped the medicine or if it is something more serious. Will probably call doc on Monday if no change. Anyone experience bleeding after stopping Anastrozole?

No bleeding for me, I had been 9 years since my period stopped when I was diagnosed. Only good side effects after I stopped anastrozole but I switched to exemestane before stopping everything. No bleeding for me. You should talk to your doctor.
