Repatha (evolocumab) "I have taken 3 shots of Repatha. No obvious side effects except that I have been very irritable. I had irritability issues on statins, and that’s why I stopped them. Is this a possible side effect? My doctor doesn’t think so."

Repatha (evolocumab) "Have suffered with worry for 12 years. Off and on statins which I cannot tolerate. Zetia is poison to the mind. Cholesterol 346 9/23, 263 2/24. Started Repatha 3/24..wait for it...180. Yes. Has been a lifesaver. Does not cause pain or cross blood-brain barrier causing depression or brain fog. I feel so much better and getting over the injection part is gradual. I recommend Repatha Sureclick to anyone that has suffered statin side effects like I have including small fiber neuropathy in my feet from Crestor. Repatha is a wonder drug."

Repatha (evolocumab) "Had very few side effects, some aches though I do a manual job daily. Reduced from 6.8 to 2.8 with no statins as totally allergic to all forms of statins. Aged 62, slightly overweight at 6 ft. 1. Get odd bruises at injection point in belly, only legs fine. I do cycle a lot though."
