I have been taking letrozole since April this year.I am so tired most of the day also feel sick a lot and I have a really sore mouth.I am trying to keep positive but I have started to feel a little down and I am thinking of stopping them as I feel it is making my quality of life quite bad.Do most women struggle with letrozole or am I one of s few .

    I have been on Letrozole for nearly 12 months now and whilst it does have unpleasant side effects the worst is feeling tired during the day and then not being able to sleep at night (normally being menopausal).  My surgeon suggested taking it before I went to bed as it was making me feel tired so I swapped and instead of taking it in the morning when I got up, I now take it at night when I go to bed.  It may help you too.  I do still wake at night with the nightly sweats, but I think I am less tired during the day. Might be worth a try.
