Anyone have side effects after Lanreotide injection?

I also take ocreotide injections monthly. I’m usually tired for 2 days after each shot. But I also get a severe respiratory reaction to the shot so I also take Benadryl before each shot, so I’m not too sure whets actually causing the tiredness..

Vinnie, I suspect that fatigue is the most reported side effect of the shot. I get it too. Adding a needed Benadryl certainly could increase the usual shot fatigue. I use a four hour short acting Benadryl substitute which is over the counter and purchased through Walgreens. It is potent just enough to get me over the hump. Some folks can do the full strength Benadryl but I would be out like a light. My Doctor has agreed on this. Fortunately on the third day after the shot, I rise again to my regular NET tiredness!! Wishing we all feel energized in some inexplicable way !
