Anybody change from letrozole to tamoxifen because of side effects? I am one year on letrozole and having dizziness, joint pain, fatigue , weight gain wondering what I have to look forward to with tamoxifen! Thanks

Been on tamoxifen for almost two years. Hot flashes, night sweats are my biggest complaints.

I did 5 years in Tamoxifen, the cancer returned to a lymphnode. Just finished chemo, surgery and radiation. Now I’m taking Letrizole. Lots of joint and muscle pain. With Tamoxifen I just had hot flashes. I don’t know if my doctor will let me switch.
