I’ve been taking letrozole for about 18 weeks now. I have hot flashes, low mood,I feel dizzy and have completely stopped sleeping. I feel ill and I’ve stopped taking them. How long before I feel normal?
I’m sorry about how Letrozole has been affecting you and that you’ve now stopped taking it.
Once you stop letrozole, it usually begins to leave your system over a couple of weeks or so. Some people may start feeling better over this time while for others it can take several weeks for symptoms to improve.
