Femara and dizziness

Hello,

I've been on Femara for the last two months and have been experiencing severe dizziness. Not sure if it is from the Femara as I started taking other meds at the same time. If anyone has the same problem please let me know and also if this will ease up after a while on Femara. Thanks for your responses, and have a nice day,

Elga

Hi Elga, I take arimidex, and I did have some dizziness at first..but not that bad..you should let your onc. know about that..maybe it is one of your other meds..
take care,

Re: Femara and dizziness

Good morning! I take Femara...no dizziness...thank heavens. It makes me so sleepy and sometimes, when I do too much, my bones ache. I started with Arimidex, but it made me crazy....I was a nervous wreck. Being dizzy is no fun at all,,,I have been there. Call your dr. I have found that all mine are wonderful.

Re: Femara and dizziness

Hi CJAMMOM and Jiezz,

I also was on Arimidex but the leg pains in the evening woke me up so had to switch to Femera, legs pain are now tolerable.

About your sleepeness Jiezz did you try taking Femara at night. For me it's the opposite it has given me problem sleeping.

Maybe my dizziness could come from hernias I have on some discs in the neck. After chemo I did not have them anymore. But at the same time I started Femara my neck pains started along with dizziness. Just a coincidence I guess,
thanks and nice reading your posts,

Elga
