Started Repatha - Side Effects

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.

I react to everything and statins made me feel like life wasn’t worth living, not depressed or suicidal, just felt too bad to have quality of life. I actually have ZERO side effects on Repatha and it has remarkably and quickly lowered my bad numbers. I swear, I almost feel better on it that normal. Weird.
