I have posted on different places about my experience with Evenity but in response to your question, the adverse effects I experienced from Evenity-joint/muscle pain, spasms, gradually went away after about 6 months after last injection. I went into Evenity as a healthy 66 year old, with osteoporosis, who is pretty active (skiing, mountain biking, walking, hiking) and never had any pain before Evenity. I thought I had ruined my health as I could barely move after 11 months. The pain started at about 6 months and I decided to push through. I quit after 11th month. My gains in all three sites took me out of the osteoporosis range. My spine improvement went from -3.8 to -2.1 which is great. I started Fosomax after Evenity and all negative effects started to come back. I switched to Actonel, 1x/month, and am doing fine. Mild aching and no negative effects to date. Hope this helps. I did read that with Evenity the best bone building results are achieved within the first six months. If this is true, I would have stopped after month 6 or 7.

I stopped after 8 months due to similar side effects. I also had a cough & drainage I couldn’t shake even with inhalers.
Everything cleared up after stopping Evenity.

Wow those are amazing gains. I’m 65, healthy and active as well (ski, hike, kayak, bike, walk). Im reticent to try Evenity because of a history of heart problems in my family (my Dad and his parents). However, hearing your incredible gains makes it more enticing as those numbers are very desirable for a skier!!!! Everyone tells me I should quit.
