Letrozole sever stomach pain? What brand is best?

I have been on Goserelin for 6 months now and just started Letrozole two days ago post surgery and I have such severe stomach pain that I cannot bare, it is so strong that I cannot sleep and cannot eat etc. Just wondered if it is just me and my body or anyone else experiencing this and would that eventually go away?! 

also, has anyone tried different brands and which one has least side effects?

  • I was started on Letrozole 12 days ago and have had a mild upset stomach including pain ever since. The pain is not severe but I am conscious of it all the time. I have decided to persevere with it because I have been told that it might settle down after a few months. I think it is a recognised side effect of this drug. I am also feeling drained of energy and a bit low, which is unusual for me. I don't want to change brands at the moment because I had a severe allergic reaction post surgery and my body seems to dislike change!

    Did you change your brand? Please let me know if there has been any improvement.

    Kind regards
