Concerned about the side effects of anastrozole

Good morning everyone. I've been taking Arimidex for 14 months. I'm 74 and I've experienced hair loss, insomnia, depression, joint pain, and pain in my hands, . Has anyone had a positive experience with switching to Femara or a different medication? Of course I will continue taking one of the drugs, but do they all have equal preventative properties?

I had to switch to tomoxifin because I had osteopenia, I have very little side effects but I do have knee aches but I'm also exercising more, it's been two weeks of consistent exercise. I did gain 10lbs, first year, I'm on year three of tomoxifin.
