There is a thread already for this but its a bit old now. I was started on Letrozole but with bad reactions. It turned out that although I had advised I was lactose intolerant, I was given this drug which has lactose in it. Something to be aware of if you have this issue. It made me quite ill and I couldn't function. After a break, I have been put on Exemestane (the only one without lactose in it). I felt bad for a week, like I was getting a really bad cold (as it says), then aches but the worst thing is the flushes/flashes. I can cope during the day but during the night, it drives me crackers. Every time I turn over, bang, flush. I am persevering but wonder, and I know everyone is so different, how long does it take for this drug to settle down. I can almost cope with the aches as I have fibromyalgia anyway, these drugs also disrupt your diabetes, no one told me that! If I didn't have to take them, I wouldn't and have seriously considered, already, stopping. I want a better quality of life. Would like to hear other people's experiences. thanks
