9 months since moved from Tamoxifen to Letrozole and I feel more ill as time goes on. Joint pains and stiffness, feeling nausious and fatigued. Do I ask to swap meds? 

  • I’ve been on letrozole for 19months (from the start ) and had a gut full of the side affects , hair loss , weak painful joints , trigger finger raised cholesterol , I’m on a five week break and will discuss my options then . Why, if I can ask, did you change from tamoxifen ? 
    I’ve heard on here that a particular brand of letrozole (Accord ) seems better Shrug‍♀️

  • Tomps, thank you for replying. I was on tamoxifen for 3 years and struggled with side effects. I am finding letrazole worse. Thank you I will ask for that brand to be prescribed. Has the 5 weeks off made a difference to how you feel?
