Hi, gost

I regret responding so late, but alot has been going on. I started Evenity in May 2022 and discontinued treatment October 2022. I had a number of side effects, but primarily fatigue, itching and brain fog. I had headaches of varying severity and muscle spasms . I would get spikes in blood pressure. I felt better after stopping the drug. I was then put on Alendronate 70mg once a week. Three days after the second dose I developed migraines with aura for the next two weeks. I have a history of these headaches, but only happens a couple of times a year, never daily. I was given a CT which did not reveal significant findings. I now have to see a neurologist. I have constant ringing in my ears. I never had that before Evenity ot Fosamax. I had hoped that following the medical protocols, I would make my health better, not worse. I called AMGEN at 1(800)772-6436 and filed an Averse Effect Report. I kept detailed records and gave the information to a nurse. She was very thorough. Be sure you have the Doctor's name ,address and phone. They ask for vial numbers and dates of injection as well. These companies need to know about any aftermarket problems. I don't know what I will do next. It depends on what the neurologist says. Right now I am just taking calcium, d3 etc. and exercising. Best wishes to all on this journey.

I had similar side effects with Evenity and stopped after 8 months: headaches, rash, brain fog and aches. Brain fog and depression was the worst and I reported this to Amgen. The person taking the report said no one else has ever reported these symptoms!

I had severe joint aches on Evenity. I coudn't sleep and had to take Tylenol for the pain. I also had headaches and was miserable for the 5 times I went to receive the 2 injections. I also had inflammation at the injection site which was sore for several days. I think this medication is really strong and is not for everyone. I'm going back on Prolia which I was taking before which is, I believe, a milder solution for osteoporosis. He insisted that Evenity didn't cause joint pain, but joint pain is listed on their website. I, too, called AMGEN and the FDA to report the joint pain.
