Started Repatha - Side Effects
Heart & Blood Health | Last Active: 5 hours ago | Replies (130)Comment receiving replies
I really like my cardiologist, but I can tell it’s all about the numbers. I suffered side effects of statins for 2 years, while he minimized it. I had to tell him I was stopping either with or without his permission. He said ok. Pain and weakness went away but numbers back up. I had 4 months of feeling good again and he asked me to try Zetia. Within a week the pain started again. Now he’s called in Repatha. I have not started it.

I am taking the path him because I had an unbearable intolerance to statins. I am on my eighth month twice a month injections, and it is so benign once in a blue moon, I may experience a little backache, especially in the first two months, but I just take a Doan’s pills and it goes away in 15 minutes and I am good to go. I also take Zetia every other day.

Same experiences. Read comments on Repatha. For me and others the side effects come on slower than with statins, but when they come, wow! I quit Repatha once then tried it again then quit it for good. Recovery from Repatha takes about 3 months.
