I have been taking anastrozole for 4 years dew side effects but have had dizzy spells for the past 5 weeks and ringing in my ears doctor has prescribed amitriptyline 10mg but I have read that it interferes with the anastrozole so I am a bit reluctant to take it any ideas would be much appreciated B 

  • Hello Brenda-g

    I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with some side effects of anastrozole at the moment. If you have concerns about the medication you've been prescribed by your GP then it's worth getting in touch with your breast care team or the pharmacist to chat through these concerns. 

    I hope things settle and improve for you soon. 

    Best wishes,
