 2  Breast Cancer/Mastectomy Joint Pain, NO! Sex drive or Sexual Desire. Very tired all the time. Not sure it this is do to the Megestrol or the Arimidex, which I was told need to be taken together to help with the hot flashes. How does anyone know if these 2 drugs are really working and if the out-weigh the side effects? I have been taking both Arimidex & Megestrol for 2 1/2 years F 54 2 years
