I've been on Anastrozole for a little over a month now and I've been noticing the past week or so that my hair seems to be thining. The only thing that I am doing different is the Anastrozole. Has anybody else noticed hair thinning on this drug? Ugh, I was just getting used to having hair again *boo*

My other question is... A while back I noticed that my multi-vitamins contained soy (after taking them for almost a year) Ive looked around for a replacement but everything I am seeing for Women either contains soy or if its all vegan it has some sort of estrogen in it. What are you taking?

Thanks!
