Does Arimidex For Breast Cancer Cause Insomnia?

Medicare will not approve Ambien for people over 65yrs old. What are the equivalent medications that will be approved? I am being treated with Arimadex for breast cancer and am experiencing insomina as a side effect from it. I will be on it for 2 more years until 2016. Thank you.

HI
Well come to HMC
I really appreciate your concern, looking to the history given here I would say that this is malignant disease and to treat such case one need to go through the complete case study and without this it is not possible to suggest any medicines and such task can only be done by oncologist, this is not the simple or symptomatic treatment that can be suggest without going through medical detail, you really need to see the oncologist, take care have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
