Has anyone experienced severe constipation from exemestane? I have fewer side effects from it than from anastrazole, much less joint pain but have had unrelenting constipation since. So bad my doctor has started me on linzess. If u have experienced and know of something that helped, would love to hear.

Constipation is a side effect some people report with exemestane and other aromatase inhibitors, and it can be draining when it won't let up. Because every person responds differently, the care team is the best place to ask whether it's linked to the medication and what options fit. Others in this breast cancer community who have dealt with exemestane side effects are welcome to share their experiences, so you know you're not alone.
