I am taking that supplement, but not taking Arimidex, so can't tell you about the interaction. I experienced joint pain on Herceptin. You have to take it for a few weeks to notice anything, but I definitely move better. I use to hobble out of bed in the morning, and no longer do that.

You should check with your onc. to see if s/he is aware of any reason you shouldn't take it. I know women on Taxol take it as well.
