Completed 5 years of anastrozole. Withdrawal symptoms? Side effects?

If this was me, I'd check in with my primary care doc as all of these symptoms sound like they might also be an unrelated infection--viral or bacterial. That is, if you have a flu-like illness or even an atypical UTI you'd have these symptoms. If you are not additionally ill, the doctor might have advice too if this is the anastrozole. Personally, I have come off my AI for brief "vacations" and never had symptoms. Wishing you the best!

I see my doctors, both my oncologist and gp regularly, so I'm very confident these are withdrawal symptoms. I don't know how long your"vacations" are, but I wish you the best, when you are taken off the anastrozole. It's not fun.
