since I start using this medication, I have a lot of muscular pain. Published: September 30, 2007 ::

After taking Evista daily for 4 months, I had to stop because body and muscle aches began to impact my daily life.I couldn't go up stairs or get up out of a chair without some serious hip and knee pain. I am not out of shape or overweight.I also experienced shoulder and middle of back pain that felt like it was "in my bones." Published: January 16, 2008 ::

No side effects! I am very sensitive to any medications and must take all in smaller doses than most w/ elevated results. This medication shows no signs of use whatsoever, but, I feel stronger while using it. My bones do not creek as much after 2 weeks of use; I am very happy with this drug; no stomach upset w/ or w/o food. Published: November 06, 2007 ::

Had diagnosis of osteopenia and osteoporosis. I have IBS and Actonel and Fosamax gave me severe constipation requiring enemas. I was switched to Evista and have had no side effects. Published: November 05, 2007 ::

It has been given to me for postmenopausal use for osteoporosis & post breast cancer treatment. No problems Published: October 11, 2007 ::

When I was 27 years old I had to have a hysterectomy due to endometriosis. So I went thru a surgical menopause. My Dr. did not put me on any meds for prevention of osteoporosis then. If he had I most likely would not have osteo. so severely now. My age now is 55. I am angry that back then my dr. did not do that or recommend that I needed meds. Now the dr. I am seeing has had me on Evista 60mg. daily for years and recently after my bone density and the other bone test, she decided to put me on Fosomax. I had tried it before and cannot take it or Actonel due to acid reflux problems I have. I went back on the Evista and just have to be careful not to stand too long or my back really starts to hurt. It is too bad that Dr's don't prescribe a drug for osteo if they are putting us thru surgical menopause. They should know better. Call me mad about what happened to me.

I have been on evista for 2 weeks my stomach is severely bloated,I feel like I'm starting to get depressed,having mood swings,feeling very tired,no energy,I had a hysterectomy at 37 and now have osteoporosis.My grandmother died from severe fractures of the spine due to osteoporosis,I don't want to suffer like she did but don't think I can live with these side affects! I will just have to keep taking calcium with D and get serious about exercise! I'm going to stop taking Evista! Published: August 06, 2008 ::

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. Published: March 22, 2008 ::
