Has anyone experienced severe insomnia with Evenity?

I know this post is several months old, but I really wish I’d seen it before getting my first injections 4 days ago. I already have chronic insomnia and take meds to sleep, the third and fourth nights after my injections my sleep was horrible despite meds ( I took an additional sleeping pill in desperation and maybe got 4 hours broken sleep). I know this is different from my normal insomnia because usually I rarely have trouble falling asleep, just staying asleep, and this was both. I don’t plan to get the next dose unless this miraculously resolved in the next day or so. I won’t do Prolia, I can’t mentally handle the idea of potential side effects for months. Running out of good options. 😞

Hi there, I know how you feel. My sleep didn't return to normal till post 30 days injection, and it was really awful. This was literally like my last hope for some osteoporosis drug I could handle without a severe side effect. My dr was so awful, she didn't even try to follow up with me to try another therapy after that, just forgot me. No nurse called, nothing. When you feel like a number on top of having a rough time with "medicine" how is someone supposed to feel ok continuing? I just felt like another experiment. Another crazy thing, I called the company that makes Evenity to report what happened, to see if insomnia was something others had reported, and they SAID no. When you look up side effects on drug info sites it is listed all the time. But a company rep said NO. That is unbelievable to me. Well now it is reported, so hopefully they will not continue misleading others. If you can't sleep, you can't function. I've had sleep troubles for a long time, so especially for those who already have this issue, that has to be clearly stated as a side effect.
