Started Repatha - Side Effects

Very interesting. Repatha made a significant difference in my numbers, but I had such significant side effects, I was told to get off the drug. I’m scheduled to go see a lipids specialist in the future, and wondering if they might try me on a lesser dose. Please keep posting, really appreciate hearing about your Repatha experiences.

Please be cautious! I’ve had a crappy experience with Repatha. severe angioedema 3x and nasal congestion, sinusitis and fatigue. My tongue swell and eye… Dangerous drug…

There is an obsession with “numbers.” I hate that word. EVERYTHING was LDL. Then the number considering LDL HDL and triglycerides. Then LPa. Then the “ratio” considering LDL/LPa. Sometimes I think we are all guinea pigs. They tell us to take a drug then tell us it’s bad and to stop. Meanwhile, the side effects cause loss of enjoyment of life. Most of the Repatha side effects are now gone after MONTHS. I am feeling strong again and doing my activities, EXCEPT, Repatha caused me extreme low back pain that remains. It makes me wonder if it caused permanent damage to those nerves. Right now I’m just going with weight, exercise, diet, sleep. My “numbers” have improved. My internist said “you are good.”
