"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."

"I was considering stopping Repatha because the pain of the injections was horrible! I dreaded the day I had to give the injection. If you warm the injection up, the shot was not supposed to cause as much pain. Researching information on Repatha, I found one gem that no one had told me: Repatha can be left out up to 30 days! I left my injection out overnight and put it under my arm just before I took the shot. Hallelujah."

"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."

"I've tried Repatha twice now, and I'm not a big fan. Flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes, runny nose, shin pain. I'm miserable, won't take it again. I pray I feel better soon."
