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

I am getting off Anastrozole at the end of this month - August 2020. Been on it for five years so I'm prepping myself about any possible withdrawal side effects. Don't want to jinx myself but being informed about others in my same situation helps. Had side effects while being on it but I dealt with it. I never thought to ask my doctor about possible withdrawal effects but will.

When I switched from Anastrozole to Exemestane - I'm guess it took 3 to 4 months for the joint pain to subside. All my best wishes for going the full 5 years!!
