A member asked:
If one stopped letrozole(femara) suddenly, cold turkey, would this lead to any side effects, if so, for how long? what would the estrogen increase look like? increases in estrogen in the past have made me feel terrible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Letrozole does reduce the production of estrogens but the amount of estrogens made by your Adrenal glands is so small that you can stop Letrozole cold turkey without worrying about the estrogen- related effects that you have experienced in the past.
