Hi,

You seem to have developed some of the side effects of Arimidex. Its common side effects include nausea, vomiting, bone and joint pains, weakness, bone thinning and hot flashes. Other less commonly reported side effects include headache, loss of appetite, constipation, mood changes, weight gain, difficulty sleeping, and dizziness. I advise you to consult your treating doctor for dose adjustment or to prescribe an alternate effective but a safer medicine for you.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
