Concerned about the side effects of anastrozole

I had many side effects, some mild but the worst was the mood swings and moodiness/depression. It was like being 16 again with PMS. I also experienced fatigue, sleeping 12 hours a night with a 2 hour midday nap, hot flashes, stomach upset, muscle ache etc. Being off it I know is temporary but I’m dreading going back on it

I also am having fatigue. Sleeping 12 hrs a night and needing a nap too. They told me the fatigue from radiation can take up to a year to resolve. My radiation was over in October (21 treatments) - so not sure if I can blame the AI for that. I have my first 3 months check up with the oncologist on 2/.8. I will be sure to ask her about this. Hot flashes have been a constant since surgery in July. I only started taking anastrozole in November.
