Taking Aromasin For Breast Cancer. Suffer From Sleeplessness. Worried About Medication

I am taking aromasin for breast cancer and my liver is feeling the effects. It has been suggested I stop using paracetamol which also affects the liver. I suffer from nerve pain from the mastectomy and am looking for pain relief that does not contain, paracetamol, codeine or caffeine. If I am suffering I may need to take it for up to 5 days otherwise it is intermittent. I tried tramadol on several occasions at bedtime but had a terrible sleep - as if I was awake the whole night. The UK pharmacist said there was nothing over the counter. Thank you

Hello,
It is sad that you have ca breast operated and taking aromasin for curing your disease and advised not to take paracetamol,codeine and caffeine. anyway you may continue with tramadol for your pain relief which is good for you if you feel relief by that, sleep is no more problem for you by this drug , because sleeplessness is one of the side effect of aromacin, than it is better for you to have sleep with this drug. you must keep in touch with your oncologist for other side effects of aromacin if you feel increasing of any other side effects of this drug.Good luck & take care.
