Hello,

I stopped taking femara/letrozole over 2 weeks ago. I still have horrible leg cramps and achy muscles. Can someone else please share their experience? Its my lower half is really bothering me from the hips down.


Thank you!

    I suspect it may take a while for sx to resolve. I have not taken an AI but from reading of others experience, this seems to be fairly common. Hopefully others will chime in with personal experiences. I hope you feel better soon.

    pippa9555....So sorry you are still experiencing side effects from Femera/letrozole. The symptoms you are having are most likely due to lack of estrogen. IMO it will take much longer than 2 weeks to get your levels up. Good luck and keep us posted.
