Post treatment

I wonder if it's the Letrazole?  Ive been on it for about 2.5 months but haven't noticed any mood changes. Hope you get sorted soon x

Are you menopausal/have you had any ovary suppressant treatment? 

I’m pretty sure it’s the side effects but I don’t know if I should ask to change, stop altogether or give it a while to see if it improves !! 

No post menopausal, my symptoms only started recently and only change is I’m now taking letrazol. I’m really struggling as I felt well enough  to work through other treatments and I’m struggling at something I can’t control x 

Oh no I’m sorry to hear that. I thought of you were pre menopausal it may have started due to ovary suppression injections. 
I can only assume then it is the letrozole. I’m not on that yet so I don’t know. 

I gather the side effects settle down in a few months  

Hi, 

I am on Letrozole, I find my emotions quite erratic at points in the month I assume would have been my menstrual cycle time. It lasts about a week then settles. I also suffer from achy stiff joints but can walk that off.

Hope things settle for you xx

I struggled with this too after treatment ended, letrazole was causing low erratic moods and, depending what brand I was supplied, severe aches and fatigue.  Broke down at appt with breast consultant who immediately put me onto exemestane, I contacted the mental health team who gave me both a slow release antidepressants and a lower, quick acting dose for later in the day to stabilize me.  Been much much better, only get some aches if the brand Accord is supplied but have arranged with GP to give me a script if that is the only brand they can get, then I phone around local pharmacies until I find a better brand.  Keep a diary note of which brand you are taking and how you are feeling, you might notice a pattern if your GP keeps giving you different brands.

This would make sense as I was fine to start but only been past month that I’ve struggled, thanks I’ll take your advise and keep a diary x
