Stopping Evenity Early

Posted by melanie1 @melanie1, Sep 17, 2022

I decided to stop Evenity after seven treatments because I seemed to develop increased symptoms of osteoarthritis in knees and hands while on it, in addition to generalized stiffness and joint pain. Has anyone experienced this or stopped Evenity for other reasons before completing 12 treatments?

I’ve not stopped yet, but getting more & more concerned after 6th injection. Increasing bone pain in hips & severe Achilles tendinitis, aches & pains everywhere. I feel ancient at 67. I am very active & by end of day, I can’t bear the pain anymore & cave & go to bed for relief…my poor husband has to support me because I’m so stiff & I have increasing heart issues; subtle, but enough to make me scared enough to make an appointment with a cardiologist. I thought about getting a cardiac work up before starting Evenity & foolishly never followed thru in it..,,they should tell everyone to get cardiac screening prior to starting Evenity if you’re over a certain age, say 55….are the costs really equal to the risks ?!

Evenity definitely causes memory problems and my Dr confirmed it and took me off it right away.
There are other medications that can cause memory ‘fog’ so I always try to research the medication I’m prescribed
