Evenity and insomnia

Posted by lm2 @lm2, 2 days ago

Has anyone experienced insomnia while on Evenity? I just had my third injection, the infusion nurse reviewed side effects and it wasn't till she mentioned insomnia it dawned on me that Evenity may be responsible, I'm a good sleeper, but not since I started this drug, I blamed it on anything and everything. Thanks My doctor says it's rare, only 2% but I could be one of them. I'm getting off it. I've taken 4 different drugs, different classes, over the past 4 years and none have made any difference. I'm 78. I think I've been living with side effects of one drug or another for 4 years.

I am also experiencing insomnia. Tomorrow I am scheduled for my third injection. My doctor indicated the insomnia might be short term.

Were you able to just stop the injections? or did you have to ween off? I read that the medication stays in your system for months.

I had my 3rd injections last month. My doctor never indicated it was short term, but indicated none of her patients had that complaint. I left a message for her today asking how to proceed. I can't function with the insomnia. I will post the plan going forward.
