I have tried Arimidex, Femara and Aromasin because of side effects. I am now on Aromasin and am doing ok. I originally had debilitating pain in my hands and legs while on both Aromasin and Arimidex, so I tried the Femara, but with the Femara I had noticable depression. I wasnt sure I could live with the pain, but I was positive I could not live with the depression. I switched back to the Aromasin and eventually after months the pain has lessened. It is not gone, but is much more tolerable. I would try to switch to one of the other options and see if it works better with you body.
Hugs,
Patricia
