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!

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

Since start Evista approx.6 months ago, I have notice quite a few changes. I have RLS (restless leg syndrome) which caused legs to ache, move, tingle or cramp after relaxing in bed at night but couldn't understand why I my feet and ankles started to swell during the day. Right leg is consistanly aching. I have gained 24lbs. Most of the weight gain has been in the last 3 months. Gain 2 lbs a week for that last month. I usually stick to about 1200 calories a day. I wasn't associating any of these symptons to Evista until I read the side effects and most of the reviews. Will stop taking the medicine for a month and see if there is any improvement. Thanks to everyone that posted their reviews. They have helped me and hopefully many more woman.

I have taken Evista for 3 years and have severe cramping,swelling and pain in my back and legs.My Dr.says its caused by my diabetes,but after reading these reviews I'm not so sure!I think I'll stop for a couple of weeks and see if there is improvement.Thanks so much to all who have shared your experiences here.

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

I started taking Evista two weeks ago and now have a lot of pain in my knee. I am going to discontinue use and see if this makes a difference.

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

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.

My mom has been on Evista for about 2 months. She began having cramping in her right leg. Now she had a stroke. An MRI was done and the doctors found a blood clot in her right lung. I wen to her house to get her medicattion to give to the doctors and happened to read the side effects of this drug. The side-effects listed were, pain in the legs and possible fatal stroke, among others. Now that I am reading these reviews I am positive the Evista caused her stroke.

I have been taking Evista for three week now. It is now 3 am and I am up due to terrible pain in my knee. I have had pain in my knees and hips. Not sure yet if it is from the evista. I'm stopping it today and seeing if the pain goes away.
