Similar to Shellie7, I have not experienced any issues yet with letrozole which I have now been on for 3 months. I have also had no issues with Adcal, though I do find that sometimes I get tthe burps if taken on an empty stomach. Good luck and I hope letrozole treats you well. X

Hello Jo, I have been on Letrezole for just over one year now . Have gained some weight ,but nothing drastic . I do have sweats with this medication,take Vencarm and Clonidine for those but still not brilliant. I will persevere though . All the best xxx
