Anastrazole
Hi, I wonder has anyone experience of this drug, I have been on it for about 6 weeks and while I have no dramatic side effects I feel generally unwell - tired, low mood, aches and pains. I know it's important to keep taking it but I would like to know if you get used to it and feel better over time
Thanks
Sunny
