User Reviews for Evista oral

This is the 2nd time I tried to take this drug. I am having a lot of pain in both legs. I am trying to find a natural remedy for "borderline osteoporis". Pls advise

This medication caused chest pains with the possibility of gall bladder problems. Have decided that the side effects of this medication are not worth risking my health further.

no problems at all.very easy to use once a day my choice.

Legs and ankle swelling

I noted no side effects after taking this drug for over 5 years.

I have gained 40 pounds since beginning this med. I also have severe hot flashes and headaches.

Couldn't take Actonel (caused severe uveitis) so was put on Evista. Worked fine for a year, but now have bad leg cramps most nights.

I started taking the this medicine 6 months ago, I go to all my doctor appointments and check ups, but the last time my cholesterol went up,I started having a lot of hot flashes, inmosonio, headaches, stomachaches, and I used to be a very very healthy person. Then suddenly I star feeling a my arms weird at night, until I have to suspend the medicine because I had a cloth on my arm, very very painful. This has happened to more people I know, so be very careful and talk with your doctor about the risks.Read More Read Less

My doctor gave me this 2years ago. I had to switch doctors, went to a new doctor (Gyno) I was told I should have never been put on this because of heart attacts and strokes run in my family. I had to have a electro cartogram. Part of my heart is beating slower, they dont know why. I am thinking the Evista. Does anyone have this problem. Thanks Blueyegirl

Hot flashes are worse than those associated with menopause. I also experienced shortness of breath.

My Doctor recommended Evista for my osteopenia diagnosis and I have been taking it for 3 years...my latest bone density tests came back with no improvements..and my osteopenia was getting worse...I have just started Boniva 2 weeks ago....we'll see!!

I suspect blood clot in my eye causing double vision could have been caused by evista. this happened twice since i have been on evista. Doctor advised me to stop taking it. he says evista is not the cause, and to date he does not yet know what the cause is.

since taking this drug, i have had charlie horses in my legs during the night, also bubbly feeling in my legs.

I have been on this several years had a new bone density, this is not helping.

I have taken Evista for 8 years now and am thinking seriously of going off of it. I have complained to Dr. about muscle aches,leg cramps for 2 years now. I went off cholestrol meds because of same reason. I have to find out what meds are causing this reaction. Bone density tests in past have been very good. I have had no history of cancer altho my Mom & her sister both had breast cancer and lived 40+ years following surgery.

Evista caused me to have extreme soreness in the muscles in both of my arms and in the tendons of my hands. I actually tried it three times because my doctor recommended it so highly for prevention of osteoporosis and breast cancer after menopause. After evaluating its effect on my body for the third time, I have decided that I absolutely cannot take Evista.

I AM EXPERIENCING VERY INTENSE PAIN IN MY LEFT ARM AND SHOULDER. cONSIDERED MAYBE HEART PROBLEMS. I AM A 47 YR OLD PRE-MENOPAUSAL W/ A FAMILY HISTORY OF BREAST CANCER. NOW AFTER READING OTHER REVIEWS I AM NOT SO MUCH WORRIED ABOUT MY HEART. LOOKS LIKE THIS DRUG CAUSES MUSCLE PAIN. I FEEL LIKE I'M HAVING A SEVERE REACTION TO AN INJECTION IN MY LEFT ARM. HARD TO EVEN LIFT MY ARM. I'M GOING OFF UNTIL I CAN MEET WITH MY DR. not: i've been on this med for 1 week only

Took Evista for several years. Gradually developed gas, dizziness, and severe sudden attacks of nausea. Did not make the connection until I stopped taking it along with everything else and got well. I wonder if some of the other problems I developed during that time that have no known cause, are Evista related.

Would taking Evista for a long time cause pain in my knees.
