For Osteoporosis "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."

For Osteoporosis "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."

For Osteoporosis "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 2nd infusion on Monday to prevent bone cancer after breast cancer in '23 and strengthen bones. 1st infusion made me so ill I couldn’t get out of bed to get a bucket to vomit in because I was so weak and dizzy. I started to feel a bit human 5 days later. 2nd infusion has been worse: violent vomiting, chills, aches, headaches, and get this, panic attacks! Yes, I’ve researched it, it’s strongly linked to anxiety, and if you’re someone who’s ever suffered with anxiety or depression, it can cause panic episodes. I can’t stand this drug and am going to ask my oncologist tomorrow for an alternative. Chemo wasn’t this bad."
