Hi Becky,
I also got my period back when I switched from Tamoxifen to Arimidex. I was 8 months on Tamoxifen and 13 months without a period so I requested the switch. Two months later, surprise! GYN thought my body just needed to adjust (FSH levels showed menopause) so I stayed on Arimidex. After speaking with drug reps from AstraZenica at my support group meeting, I was told to STOP! Being on Arimidex while having periods can cause you to develop more cysts and it isn't really helping you. I went back to Tamoxifen for three months before having my ovaries removed.
It's been 6 weeks and I have noticed an increase in hot flashes and problems sleeping. I've needed to take Ambien but the last week or so the insomnia is resolving.
Hope things go smoothly for you.
Susan
