Repatha, side effects and what comes next?
Heart & Blood Health | Last Active: 19 hours ago | Replies (100)Comment receiving replies
I cannot take statins, tried every kind, every dose. Tried Repatha TWO times. I wanted it to work for me, but, again, the pain reduced my quality of life too much to continue. I just heard about Nexleton for those that can’t tolerate statins. The list of side effects is long and scary. I have been trying these drugs for 30 years and feel like a poster child for horrible side effects that sometimes take months to get over. It feels like I am wrecking my body with these medication “trials.” I am sad and at a loss. My doctor has convinced me that I am dying of CAD, but the only time I feel like I am dying is when I take these medications. I am so worn out.

Nexletrol side effect for me is severe anemia.
I cannot take statins as well, like you, same issues. Like you I tried Repatha twice. I really wanted it to work but I had a horrible experience with a long list if extreme side effects leaving me fearful of trying other medications (still recovering after 5 months). If you find something that works speak up, for I am in the same boat as you. I haven't tried a plant based whole food diet yet, that is next on my list. If it lowers my numbers I'll post back. Much luck to you.

Oh my! Thank you for this post! It describes my experience exactly. I have tried all the statins. They make ne very sick (diarrhea, brain fog, depression, zero energy…). So I tried Repatha. I really wanted it to work, too. I didn’t even look up typical side effects. Soon after I started it, I got raging diarrhea, cramps, depression, headaches, zero energy, overall malaise. I had to cancel a trip to visit my father because I was so sick. I never got to see him before he died. I feel exactly like you, in that the medications make me feel like I’m dying more than anything else. I’m not taking anymore.
