I am on Letrozole and yes I have found it playing havoc with my mood making adapting to the normal stresses of family life difficult at times.
I found quite a bit of a help for several months was going for a daily one hour walk with my ears plugged into music on my phone - I not only got fitter , it gave me thinking time and a break away from things when I needed it.
I have had quite a bit of eye surgery this past year which has prevented my walking program for a while afterwards until my vision returned - I managed to get back into it after earlier surgeries but the latest round has worn me down quite a bit and am struggling to get back into making teenage behaviour difficult for me to cope with causing tensions at home .
Letrozole eliminates the hormone estrogen as does Tamoxifen which plays havoc with our emotions. We need to find a path thru this for our sanity and our relationships.
I found that removing myself from home when things were starting to upset me by taking myself off on a walk was accepted by my family as my time .The kids think I did it solely to cope with joint pain when in fact it was also a release from stress and my inability to cope possibly due to the mood altering side effects of Letrozole.
