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.

The insomnia was awful from the very first injections. I hung in there for 3 rounds but just couldn't do anymore. I began having heart palpitations, daily headaches, and loss of energy. I called my endocrinologist and after 4 attempts to speak with him, he finally called me back. He informed me that NO ONE ELSE had experienced such symptoms. Never going back there.

You said your sleep returned to normal till post 30 days injection. Did you finish the one year treatment?

I just had my 4th shot. My insomnia steadily got worse during theses months. Now I wake up just about every 2 hours. I didn’t relate this to Evenity until this morning and looked up online. Evenity website says it does affect sleep!

My question is: would this horrible pattern go away once I finish the shots? And has anyone taking sleeping aids and if they have helped?

I don’t have a choice but to continue. I have very severe osteoporosis and had several spinal fractures.
