Hi I take anastrozole for triple positive her 2 breast cancer. I changed times of taking it from morning to afternoon and evening. Right now I take it in the morning and by early afternoon I’m done. This also happened with taking it in the afternoon and evening. What time are people taking this pill for less side effects I appreciate your input

Timing anastrozole can definitely make a difference in managing side effects, and it's great that you're experimenting to find what works best for your body. Many community members have found success with different timing strategies - some prefer taking it with food to reduce stomach upset, while others find bedtime dosing helps them sleep through some of the initial effects. Consider discussing your timing experiences and side effect patterns with your oncology team, as they may have additional suggestions tailored to your specific situation.
