Repatha side effects not believed
Heart & Blood Health | Last Active: 4 days ago | Replies (73)Comment receiving replies
I'm six months in now on 140mg repatha which i take every 3 weeks due to my weight being only 95 lb and having side effects from every other med i've tried. I've hit a point where i woke up at 0300 w a horrible headache that under medication is still there after a week. calf pain muscle spasms dizziness abdominal and lower back pain and a restart of some tendinitis. so much for this being the gold standard. my lipid numbers are great but Im a mess!

@rnbabs1 I used all the mentioned treatments for high cholesterol too and I could not take any of them. I am now taking rosavstatin 2 x per week along with a daily dose of Zetia. My cholesterol is good and no more muscle pain!

Oh no, @rnbabs1! Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! I am glad to see you found a group to share information and encouragement. It sounds like you have been struggling for quite a while trying to keep your cholesterol under control.
Have you had a chance to visit with your doctor about side effects you are having?
