Side Effects for Femara (letrozole)
FEMARA (LETROZOLE): This medication is used to treat certain types of breast cancer (such as hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer) in women after menopause. Letrozole is also used to help prevent the cancer from returning. Some breast cancers are made to grow faster by a natural hormone called estrogen. Letrozole decreases the amount of estrogen the body makes and helps to slow or reverse the growth of these breast cancers. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

It just stopped working for me. What I didn't expect, and wasn't warned about, were the suicidal feelings I experienced after stopping. I'd never felt suicidal before. Very Scary.
zits or pimples on the chest, sleepiness, disorientation, very pale unhealthy skin, zombie looks, panda eyes
Definitely works to kill infection but the heart racing very fast and paranoia is very bad. I have two more days and I'm done I will only continue dosing because it is clearing up my staph infection. After this I will be staying away from it.

Lyrica has saved me in some ways and destroyed me in others. I had shingles in the groin area and now have post herpetic neuralgia. I get itching, burning, stinging pain that never goes away. The itching alone makes me go crazy. Lyrica is the only thing that calms the nerves down. My mood has improved greatly on a regular basis and I now sleep like a baby. I also have fibromyalgia and I have not slept well in several years. However, the other side effects are becoming just as disabling as the nerve problems. I can't bend in the middle anymore. I have gone up 3 clothing sizes. My muscles are like concrete and I can barely move. I can't exercise hardly at all. It wouldn't matter anyway because nothing takes the weight off. I just wish the side effects weren't so bad because otherwise it works just fine. I am having to pursue other options because the side effects are too much to bear. I am looking into spinal cord stimulation treatment. I hope it works because I can't do this anymore.
Severe headache, though I get facial shingles near the trigeminal nerve, so I am not sure if the headache is from the drug or from getting a migraine as a result of the shingles. Dizziness is also a side effect.
