My results after 1 year of Evenity

I have had lots of fatigue and some depression since going on Evenity. (I also reduced my thyroid medication which had been prescribed to me years ago for depression, but I have been on the reduced dose for quite a while now, so should not be the cause of my depression. I never had thyroid issues, it was only prescribed for the depression.) The fatigue makes it harder to exercise. I will probably be starting something new for the depression, but would love anybody’s input about having any mood or fatigue issues since starting Evenity. I sleep 10 hours and still have trouble waking up in the morning though once I’m up I’m OK. Thank you everyone for your generous postings!

Oh gosh. Hope you are better with the mood changes. That scares me also

I just had my first injection of Evenity three weeks ago. I am 75 and have been very reluctant to try any drugs, but my numbers have been quite low. I, too, have experienced extreme fatigue on Evenity, which is not even listed as a side effect. I can sleep for 10 hours at night and still feel extreme fatigue when I wake up in the morning. Then, throughout the day, I get headaches and fatigue off and on, usually late in the afternoon, for which I have to lie down. I told my doctor about this and she said "that is not a usual side effect". Well, it seems like we are not all alike.
I have also had some gut issues. And this is only my first dose. I might have to discontinue the Evenity because the fatigue is almost unbearable. I have been very active my whole life, walked to grade school, high school and all over in college. I have remained very active up until this age. I think no matter how active a person is, osteoporosis is just sometimes inevitable.
Please let me know if anyone else has suffered the extreme fatigue like I have.
thanks

Sorry to hear about your struggles with fatigue. Whilst I cannot speak to Evenity I am rather concerned about your thyroid medications, and am wondering why if you've had no issue with your thyroid you were prescribed hormonal supplement. Have you had your thyroid levels checked recently? I have hypothyroidism (for decades), by the time it was diagnosed I was suffering with severe fatigue along with other other symptoms. Please be sure to have detailed blood work which may help establish the cause of your fatigue.
