Hello Jeangj

I'm sorry to hear that you've had some side effects from letrozole. Unfortunately, we know from posts here on the forum that many women struggle with the medication and it's not uncommon for women to take a drug holiday or cease taking it altogether. 

One of the rare side effects of letrozole is eye problems such as blurred vision, cataracts, or irritation. I know that we have in the past had other ladies post to mention eye problems that they have had as well so hopefully if they see your post they will reply to share their experiences. 

If you'd like to talk to one of our team of nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. 

I do hope that things settle and improve for you soon. 

Best wishes,

Hi I have been on letrazole  for only 3 months .

side effects are pains in legs ,depression,no energy ,

but the worse is that I have in the last two weeks had black floaters in my eyes .

Have spoken to my breast nurse and decided to come off of them .Within a week the amount of floaters  have decreased but still very visible .

I am 100% sure it's the tablets .

Were you give.steroids whilst on chemo?

My GP said that might have been a factor when I developed similar eye problems of my own.

Just a thought.

Good luck!

Dave
