Hi, I've been on Arimidex for 3 years and have many friends currently taking it. None of us has had so much as a rash. Our complaints range from joint pain and weight gain to insomnia. This syndrome can happen as an allergic reaction to a number of drugs, Arimidex being one of them but it's very very rare. Do you or someone you know suffer from it as a result of being on Arimidex?

Yes.... my mother has been taking arimidex for 4 months and has this syndrome. It would seem she has an allergic reation to this drug and has to stop taking it now.

Hi Chrissi BB,
No, I have not had that drug or the side effect. Hope this helps. :-)

I'm so terribly sorry. Do the doctors feel that switching her to one of the other aromatase inhibitors, perhaps one manufactured by a different company, might be the answer?
