Letrozole: When will I start feeling/seeing side effects?

When do most people start side effects from Letrozole? I have a lot of angst about taking it. I started two weeks ago and feel nothing other than fatigue, which in my case could be coming from a couple things. I take it at noon with other meds.

If you are able, can you let go of your concern about possibilities and just see how it goes? Easier said than done, I know. But I believe about half of women on letrozole can tolerate it--although a significant portion do suffer. I've been on for a year and a half and no problems. Hope things continue easily for you.

I've been taking Letrozole for about 3 months. I have some joint pain in my fingers and toes which seem to come and go. With the help of CBD ointment at night it seems to help. I am a quilter and a watercolor artist so I use my hands a lot. I also have experienced some night hot flashes nothing severe.
Everyone tolerates medicine differently but for me so far not bad. Hope this helps!
