Re: Post Femara and hair loss
To tell you the truth, I did not have many significant side effects from while on Femara. ( I did have a lot of side effects from Arimidex, so I switched) So when I went off the Femara, I hardly noticed much of anything except less hair in the drain after I washed it. I might have had some light joint stiffness during Femara, but if i did it was very minimal. After Femara, no joint stiffness at all.
