I’ve gained several pounds since going on Evenity. I guess the increased appetite that you mentioned is the reason. Wondering if anyone has experienced brain fog and or depression with Evenity?

I have experienced brain fog and increase appetite - craving ice cream.
No walking or weights have already contributed to both the weight gain and depression. Walking 2-3 miles each day, more on weekends and weights 3 times/week are impossible with my T12 wedge compression fracture.

Hi, Marylemons,
I stopped Evenity after 6 months because of side effects. I had a number of them which were: brain fog for about 2weeks, fatigue, increased blood pressure that started a few days after injection, headaches and random muscle spasms. I kept track of side effects, including changes in my bloodwork. I contacted Amgen and spoke to a nurse who was interested in changes that occurred from baseline. Evenity is a relatively new drug, so it behooves all of us communicate negative to the company.

Hi, I have gained a few pounds but I think some of that is my diet and trying to get in all of the appropriate amount of calcium and protein. I am definitely more hungry since starting Evenity. My fourth dose is next week.
I have a hard time concentrating and have basically stopped reading books which is not normal for me. As well my legs and hips are sore. Some of the discomfort is exercise related but some is definitely unusual.
