I already had peripheral neuropathy. I was put on 2.5mg Letrozole and stopped in 3 days due to worsening of neuropathy of feet, new symptoms of neuropathy - pain in earlobes and jaw and numbness of neck, new tingling and pain in hands/fingers. After 5 days off Letrozole, I still have these symptoms.

I have only been on Letrozole for 2 months and the neuropathy in my feet is so bad I have to stop taking it. So far I’ve tried Arimdex, same thing. I tried Exemestane and it crippled me 6 hrs after 1 dose. I get it to the point of not worth taking the drug!
