Concerned about the side effects of anastrozole

I took Anastrozole for 5 years, and stopped a month ago. The first 2 weeks were awful. Aching, headache, fatigue! While on it I lost some hair, and I had muscle and joint pain. I am wondering if anyone can tell me how long does it take for the withdrawal symptoms to go away, because I still don't have a lot of energy.

Someone else posted that it can take up to 2 to 3 months for the joint pain to subside. I've been off it 3 weeks now - my hands are starting to feel better. I was switched to exemestane.
