Hi @repathaconcerns, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am sorry you are having so many problems treating your cholesterol. Repatha did not work for me, either.
The half-life of the drug staying in your body is 14-17 days, so it is going to hang around a while. It will take about 3 months. One thing that has been a constant for me has been to stretch and stay active!
You mention having problems with statins, and now Repatha. Please be encouraged knowing there are other options. Mayo Clinic Cardiology’s Statin Intolerance Clinic may be a good resource for you and/or your cardiologist.
Your cardiologist may not know what to expect with Repatha. Did they tell you how long of a break they’d recommend?
