My oncologist said I could take a vacation from the endocrine therapy for 2-3 weeks while I was on vacation. Has anyone else done this?

I was taken off for Arimidex (anastrozole) 3 weeks due two bad bouts of diverticulitis. Had the WORST sweats and itching in those 3 weeks...don't know if it was withdrawal-type symptoms. Put on Femara (letrozole) and have been on 3 weeks and itching is subsiding and very few night sweats. We are going on a trip in November and I'm thinking about going off 2-3 weeks to help with the fatigue so I can enjoy that vacation.
I went off Anastrozole for 2 months. The insomnia was so bad I couldn't stand it. I had radiation recall on my breast and chest and it cleared up. I was feeling really good. But now I have been back on it for a month again and I am back to having fatigue joint pain, insomnia,.

@francine6829, If you do this, Francine, will you please post the results of going off the drug for 3 weeks.
