I have been on this med a couple months. My oncologist said worst side effects his patients reported were hot flashes and joint pain. I have experienced some joint pain on occasion but Aleve did the trick. I didn’t experience the side effects until about 2 months on the drug.

I got TN, a type of neuropathy (nerve in the ear) on the 3rd day and it was so painful, I stopped. My oncologist said you don't get side effects that quickly so it wasn't Letrozole. I don't believe her and will not retake it or any AI since all can bring on neuropathy in older woman. I'm 81.
