I'm doing ok on Letrazole actually. I've been on it for a few months and really the only side effect I have is HOT FLASHES!!!!! Dang it. So, my oncologist put me on efexor for the flashes and it helps a great deal. Also, I'm not hungry on efexor which is ok with me as I need to lose a good amount of poundage.

Always report any serious side effects immediately, such as signs of blood clots, liver problems, or severe allergic reactions.

Also, every AI and manufacturer of AI’s use different additives in their tablets which can effect people differently.
