If you are allowed to switch to Femara (which is quite similar in its mode of action to Arimidex) you may suffer less short term side effects according to the original clinical trials comparing the 2 drugs.
However I believe Femara is an even stronger estrogen suppressor & may in the long term be more prone to cause osteoporosis unless this side effect is monitored & treated concurrently (& not afterward) with the administration of the AI.
