My Experience on Evenity for Treating Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: 1 day ago | Replies (1085)Comment receiving replies
I have concerns that my twin sister taking Evenity injections has resulted in her having a altered mental status. I noticed a change in her after about the 3rd injection Jan. 2022.
We are identical and have always had a unique connection that is unlike single siblings. Now I can’t communicate with her because of her confusion.
Does anyone have a suggestion wherever I can’t get information?
If you take Evenity have someone monitor your mental status. It so easy for people to say, its just old age.
I am an RN with 25 years of acute care Psychiatric experience, I’m pretty sure of what I am seeing.

I have posted here before- I find your sister’s experience interesting! I ( also retired RN) was taking Evenity after having 2 compression fractures (T-8, T-12) while skiing - no falls, just going over small bumps. I’m 64 and this happened a year ago- no skiing since…
I started the injections all gung ho but after 5-6 months noticed I was feeling depressed and anxious and having trouble finding words, and in a brain fog. It took me a couple months to connect it with the Evenity.
But after consulting w my endocrinologist we decided to skip October’s injections.
Thankfully those symptoms seem to have lifted!
I took a Reclast infusion in November.
I do seem to have had a lot of URI since the fall but could be unrelated.
I reported my experience to Amgen.
Hopefully your sister’s mental changes will clear now that the drug is no longer in her system- it is supposed to clear by the end of a month.
I would definitely get a neurologist to evaluate her.
It could be unrelated or not.
Let us know how she is doing. She is fortunate to have you as her sister.
