I regret EVER taking this drug as it has completely ruined my life. I took 4 injections before I realized that emgality was causing all of these hellish effects on my body.

I regret EVER taking this drug as it has completely ruined my life. I took 4 injections before I realized that emgality was causing all of these hellish effects on my body. My last injection was on January 5th. I suffered anxiety that I never had, panic attacks, insomnia, weight loss, vomiting, numbness and tingling, tremors, nervousness, depression, loss of appetite and severe allergic reaction. My body at this current moment is stuck in a nervous state I've been shaking with tremors since January on a constant basis. My central nervous system and immune system have both been compromised. No matter what I do nothing helps

The first 2 months seemed to show promise, I had less severe headaches than I had been having for the last 13 years but also started to get ringing in my ears and had severe leg and toe cramping that would shoot me out of bed several times a night. The headaches started to increase in pain on the third week after month 2 so I thought the med was wearing off when it was close to time for next shot ... Show Full Comment

The first 2 months seemed to show promise, I had less severe headaches than I had been having for the last 13 years but also started to get ringing in my ears and had severe leg and toe cramping that would shoot me out of bed several times a night. The headaches started to increase in pain on the third week after month 2 so I thought the med was wearing off when it was close to time for next shot so I kept getting the injection. The third month I started getting heart racing, feeling like palpitations, got flashes, and very lightheaded. I seriously thought my blood sugar was dropping, thatâ??s how bad I felt but did not feel better after eating. Then I thought it was my heart, but I work for cardiologist and my ekg was good just elevated heart rate but not abnormal. I thought it was vertigo or Ménièreâ??s disease but ENT didnâ??t think the symptoms correlated with ear problems. After the 4th month injection the headaches have gotten so bad along with blurry vision and now severe back pain. I finally started reading what other people have been going through not just the success stories on the drug website and see that many of the symptoms I have had are what others have experienced and it makes sense now. I did not get my 5th injection, itâ??s been about 32 days since my last months shot and I feel terrible! Foggy brain, canâ??t remember words, forgetting the smallest things, awful spinning feeling, ears ringing, back pain, constipation, gas, and bloating, hot face and flushed, extreme fatigue-donâ??t want to move, heart racing, tight stiff painful neck and shoulder blades. I am actually scared of feeling this way for the next 5 months until this poison is out of my body.

I have cluster headaches and migraines. It’s been working great. I have been experiencing some light insomnia that isn’t not manageable but still never been an issue prior. The only reason i am putting three stars over all is the debilitating back pain. I have done 5 injections and it started slowly and then came on stronger. I can barely walk without naproxen and ibuprofen. Others have mentioned ... Show Full Comment

I have cluster headaches and migraines. It’s been working great. I have been experiencing some light insomnia that isn’t not manageable but still never been an issue prior. The only reason i am putting three stars over all is the debilitating back pain. I have done 5 injections and it started slowly and then came on stronger. I can barely walk without naproxen and ibuprofen. Others have mentioned constipation I will be exploring If this has anything to do with the back pain. This drug has otherwise been life changing.

I became severely depressed and anxious within a few days of taking the loading dose of two injections. That was on 1/28/2020. Now waiting for the drug to slowly clear my system so I can feel normal again.

Loading dose caused severe abdominal pain and cramping. Effective on migraine. Next dose caused allergic reaction. Again effective. Dr said take w Benadryl. Next dose more allergic symptoms, fatigue, muscle/joint pain, depression. I'm done, not worth side effects.
