Started Repatha - Side Effects

You are right, we are lab rats. I also don’t have side effects from Repatha, but it makes you wonder what terrible effect they will find out occurs with long term use. And, like other meds, will it reduce numbers but create more cardiac events. I think it is more about profit than health, BUT, that said, I am on it and my numbers are good. However, I am concerned about long term effects. Hopefully I will have died a peaceful active old age death by then.

I'm so happy to hear you are tolerating Repatha - I was also a statin failure - on every type, but my heart is showing damage so I reluctantly agreed to Repatha - along with other heart meds - this week. Seems like worth trying before they decide they need to start doing stents!
One dose in and so far so good.
As far as long-term effects, I am hoping that the adverse events reporting system is accurate - seems like problems crop up right away. Few reported after a longer while on the med.
