    I’ve been on anastrazole (generic Arimidex) since mid-September. I haven’t had any side effects. My skin is drier and my hot flashes are worse, but that just means that the anastrazole is doing its job. While many women experience bad side effects, there are many others that don’t. Good luck

    I've been on Anastrozole since June 2018 and experienced horrible joint and muscle stiffness and pain. A few months ago I tried following the common advice on these boards and began to exercise regularly. That made all the difference. If you don't exercise presently, I highly recommend it.
