Hi Maura
Arimidex does not list this as a possible side effect, but it does say that mental/mood changes are possible as the drug lowers your estrogen hormone level.
Both the mental/mood changes and the lower estrogen levels are enough to make any woman cry.
If you do not feel that you are adjusting well I would definitiley speak with a doctor concerning this as we don't want you to become depressed, as depression is a whole other ball of wax and best likely to avoid it if possible.
Good luck to you! Keep in touch!
