Does Letrozole Cause Anxiety?

I am supposed to start taking soon after overian suppression, and I already have anxiety about the side effects. I am not looking forward to it.

My Dr prescribed venlafaxine XR 37.5 MG 24 hr capsule Commonly known as: Effexor-XR It’s been working great for me and I just started the letrozole last Saturday

I am on letrozole and it has affected my anxiety sleep and ability to eat.

I was on Anastrazole then switched to Letrazole, They wanted me on it for 10 years, I've been on the meds for 2 years & have finally decided the side effects just aren't worth it for Me ... So, I've stopped all medications & living while I can... 😃

I took a break from letrazole. My BP was getting elevated and pulse. Also swelling in my lower extremities. Onco said it was ok...quality over quality

Not having anxiety but the hot flashes are unrelenting!

I’m on 75mg of Effexor with no relief of the hot flashes!

Yes I had a lot of anxiety with taking Letrozole. My first year on it the PA that works with my oncologist prescribed all kinds of different medication to help but they made me feel weird and more tired. Then I was on this app and someone posted that they went to a holistic oncologist and he had them take drenatrophin PMG. It helps with anxiety, blood sugar and depression. I was really skeptical but it really works and I feel so much better. You take 1 tablets 30 minutes before eating. Up to 3 a day. I just take 2 a day and it works perfect with no side effects. I did ok with my oncologist and she was fine with it. You just buy it on line super easy.

Many people in the breast cancer community report experiencing anxiety while taking letrozole, so you're definitely not alone in this experience. Anxiety can be a challenging side effect to manage alongside cancer treatment, and it's completely understandable to reach out for support about this. Consider discussing these feelings with your healthcare team, as they may have helpful strategies or adjustments to suggest, and connecting with others here who may have similar experiences could provide valuable comfort and practical tips.
