"Wonderful!! If you want to say farewell to your already healthy and happy life for months, even for years, take this rubbish, even one dose! You will get paralyzed and achy for so long! DO NOT try this junk, or you will wish for death rather than taking the side effects! Beware! You will experience all the listed side effects! Long-lasting and disastrous! Make your choice!"

"For four weeks, I had little to no appetite and periods of tiredness. For the first 3 weeks, I was also in a stupor, tired, and weak every day, with nausea daily. Along with these symptoms, for the first 2 weeks, I had on and off fever, chills, headache, no energy, sweats at night. I felt like I was drugged and was weak, unstable, and sick. I would never, never take Zometa again, and I do NOT recommend it."

"Worst medication I’ve ever had. I got all the severe side effects. Joint and muscle pain, headache, nausea, chest and abdominal pain, chills. This medication is torture. If you want to experience all kinds of body aches and pain, take this medication. I do not recommend it, and I will never take it anymore, even if I was going to die."

"I will never try Zometa again. I had horrific side effects. I passed out 7 hours after home from infusion, my neighbor called paramedics. My blood pressure dropped to 80/58. I’ve had full body ache, headache, sweats, and chills for 3 days so far."

"Had the infusion - 15 minutes - 4 days ago. On the day, felt fine. The next day, thought I was dying, chills, fever, nausea, whole body/bones/joints extremely painful. Woke up every hour and had to drink water. Day 3, felt a lot better and managed to go to work. Day 4, I feel fine. Not sure how effective it will be, will have to have a bone scan in a year's time!"

"I have severe arthritis anyway and have a lot of pain, but this was over the top. First day fine, but the next 4 days I was down with bad joint pain, back pain, chills. Not sure I am going to do it again. I have already had 3 breaks and cancer, so I don't know if that's an option for me."

"The Zometa was almost the end of me. I was 70 years old when doctors in Sardinia gave me the Zometa for only a broken rib. They gave it to me for 1 year. Meanwhile, my bones were becoming weaker and weaker every day. My jaw became painful and was almost impossible to talk, eat, and chew. My bones started to have fractures without any particular accident. Doctors gave me Zometa for 6 years. After 1 year, the Zometa caused me bone cancer. If Zometa is good for bones, then why after 1 year of infusions I've had bone cancer?"

"Had 1 T-7 fracture due to the osteoporosis. Recently had the Reclast infusion, and it is awful. Flu-like symptoms? No way, much, much worse. I literally was incapacitated. The pain everywhere in my bones, joints, hips, even my fingers. I feel my doctors were not honest with me about how I would or could really feel. On the positive though, I hope in one year my bone density and bone mass will have improved. I don't want another fracture."

"I am 65 and consider myself strong and overall healthy. I will never have this infusion again. My side effects included vomiting, diarrhea, fever, severe neck pain, joint pain including thumbs and knees, and my nose hurt. On my oncologist's suggestion, I had a COVID test, and it came back negative for COVID or the flu. Now, after 17 days, I am still experiencing flu-like symptoms, late-day fatigue, and just an overall blah feeling. I had a breast cancer lumpectomy in August and 4 weeks of radiation. I do not see any benefit of this drug and will try something else to get the calcium in my bones as the side effects are absolutely horrible."

"I have been given this drug during and after chemo. I cannot find anywhere in the literature how long it stays in the jaw bones after you stop taking this drug. Seven years later, I still find that though I am cancer-free, it ruined my teeth. Some doctors say it lasts the rest of your life. There has got to be a half-life, but no one answers the question. (half-life = 146 hours, time for clearance = over 30 days)"

"I received Zometa IV on 9/26/17, after being informed of all the possible side effects. Although I was somewhat concerned, I was pleasantly surprised when, 2 days later, I have experienced nothing worse than a little more joint pain than usual when line dancing last evening. Hopefully, this medication will improve my bone density or at least keep it stable."

"I had an infusion of Zometa yesterday, and today I have the worst flu symptoms I have ever had!"
