Letrozole - night time sweats

Morning.  I also suffer from insomnia, I go to bed each evening at the same time and after falling asleep am wide awake 2 hours later finding it hard to get back to sleep. Was wondering if taking letrozole at night instead would help, any advice? Tia

Hi I don't get the night swears but I don't sleep well at all at nights the joints aching is the worst , I did try taking the Letrozole at night but it made no difference , I have spoken to my BC nurse and they are now changing me to Anastrozole so will see if that makes any difference . I do hope you can find a way to help as I know how you feel and please let me know how you get on xx

Hi

i take mine at night (aim - to avoid day time aches! Which tbf I don’t currently have). 

I did find an antihistamine I was taking for post radio itching my skin maybe helped a bit. Maybe I’ll try that again.

will let you know I if I come across any miracle cures. Have seen somewhere a mild anti depressant helps but would love not to take another daily drug!

Hiya ,I don't get the night sweats either ,but the joint pain at night is awful .I don't understand why it is so bad at night ,as in the daytime I get twinges but nothing like the night time joint aches.It really hurts when I want to change position, and just about  everything is hurting and painful ! I had thought when I started letrozole in June that I was getting aches because not being so active throughout the treatment,so once radiotherapy was out of the way I restarted aqua classes and been doing them 3 times a week .I love the classes and feel so much better doing them ,but it makes no difference to the joint pain at night .I don't really want to have to start taking painkillers every night 

Hi I was doing aqua fit but unfortunately they have stopped my class so need to find another one but like you say does not help the joint pain at night ,don't know what the answer I'd but hoping the new tablet might help xx

Yes it will be interesting to see if the new tablets help .I have appointment with oncologist 18/10 so will tell them about the aches at night 

I have my first appointment with the oncologist on Friday so will speak to him as well about the night pains . All the best to you x

Often I can’t sleep and am awake until 3, I think I am getting used to it now.  Fortunately no more hot flushes or night sweats, I bought a Dyson fan for the bedroom and have since found a ceiling fan is better x
