Anastrozole is doing the same on me. I’ve been on it for 2yrs.

I’ve been on metropole for 2 months and I’m getting headaches, achy joints and insomnia. I’m also on my 3rd and final week of radiation. Plus I work fulltime as a private duty nurse.

I've been on Letrozole about 6 weeks too and had low back pain. I discovered it was actually from my kidneys. I started drinking more water and that took care of it.
