Arimidex vs Femara
Has anyone had a better experience with Femara than Arimidex??
I thought I was getting along well with Arimidex but began to have severe knee pain that caused me to limp during the day and woke me at night. I'm just starting Femara.

Hi,
Some women switch between the two drugs depending on the side effects they experience,often women will tolerate one better than the other.. but these two drugs are very similar and both can have similar side effects.
I am actually on Arimidex ( almost 2 years) and so far it hasn't been too bad.
I have heard of woman who felt better with Femara...so it really depends on how a person can tolerate one drug over the other.
I hope that Femara will work better for you.
Best wishes..
