I have heard that at Sloan Kettering and NYU Lagonne, some doctors are experimenting with having patients take Letrozole every other day. I too am cutting my dose down – 3/4ths but think will go to half. Strange pains in ear lobes and neck.
The insert that comes with letrozole describes studies where 20% of the regular dose is effective. Your doctor should know this. My doctor okayed taking it every other day or taking a half dose, but I never did because my side effects were negligible. Read the info from the company itself on the lower dose!
