I have been on Anastrozole for 3 1/2 years and am now experiencing accelerated hair loss.
Has anyone had this problem? Will hair grow back after the drug is discontinued after year 5?

    I've only been on Arimidex for 2 months
    I'm sure some pink ladies will come on the board and answer you soon. I'd like to know the answer as well.

    I'm hoping for the best.

    I would also like to know
    I would like to know to. I started Anastrozole (Arimidex) two months ago. I was told by my doctor that I would not lose my hair but I will ask again when I see him for my follow up next month.

    Hmmm
    I've been on a year and a half and so far no hair loss. Had other symptoms, but those have gone away. Hope they stay gone!
