This is a timely discussion for me as I am off to the oncologist tomorrow. I have been on Letrozole for just over 3 years (was on Tamoxifen for 2 years before that). I have just finished writing a list of side effects, their time of onset, my attempts at counteracting them, and the degree of success or failure of these counteractions.

I feel as though I have reached the time where I can no longer manage some of the quality of life effects with what seemed to work up until recently. The past 6 months have seen a marked deterioration in my ability to ‘hold my own’ against the effects.
My intention is to explore all options. @Vangirl your experience gives me hope that a simple swap might be the answer. Will be interested if anyone else has found a change beneficial. I guess at this point I am ready to try as I have nothing to lose!
