I had an ooph back in 2006 and have had no major side effects from that or taking Arimidex either, there can be some joint stiffness at times but this is helped by exercise which will also help you avoid any weight gain. I took arimidex for eight years, a daily supplement of Glucosamine/chondroitin can help the stiffness too.
