Stopped Letrozole this week, how long before side effects go away?

I'll be 80 in 2 months and supposed to start taking Letrozole after radiation. I'm thinking about refusing to take it. I have other issues(Afib for one) from what I've been reading about side effects I thinking I'll just take my chances and pray. Does anyone here wishes they had never taken this drug? Any imput or advice would be deeply appreciated.

I was taking Letrozole, had severe joints pain, shoulder pain and neck pain. I took Letrozole for six months, I have decided not to take it. I am 80 years old and I will also take my chance and prayer.

@keywestsj , yes, I wish I hadn't taken it (I'm 75). I with my Doc had done a little more research on using it if you have cardiovascular disease. I had moderate Hypertension, and now because of going on Aromatase Inhibitors, I now have nasty Labile Hypertension, which may never get better. I'm now on Tamoxifen. Here's a source warning if you have CVD: https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.119.044750
