Was on Tamoxifen for about one year, then had a complete hysterectomy + oophorectomy. Then, my Onco put me on Femara. Been taking it for 10 months. I feel horrible most of the time... hot flashes, bloating, aching muscles and joints, fatigue and lots of weight gain. Taking clonodine patch and effexor for hot flashes and 1000 mg of naprosen for the muscle pain. Triamterene for bloating. Ambien for sleep. Way too many meds... I feel like a walking pharmacy. Is anyone experiencing these problems? I have decided to go off of Femara and all other associated drugs that are to treat its side effects for a brief vacation.... to see how I feel..... Hope I'm not putting myself at risk.
