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 Hypercalcemia of Malignancy "My oncologist ordered this as a bone treatment. I was doing just fine without it. Now my legs are in pain, and I'm tired most of the time. I will NEVER take this crap again. It's a typical poison that America's corrupt pharmaceutical industry pushes on people. There are other, safer ways to get your damaged bones to absorb calcium. I have nothing but the most profound contempt for the makers of this product."

For Hypercalcemia of Malignancy "I agree with other reviewers, you will experience all side effects listed. I have had 7 infusions (1 monthly) for 1 year. After infusion, I’m fine for a day. Usually, 1-2 weeks after, I will be extremely tired, with bloating and burning skin on abdomen. Side effects vary monthly."

"I have taken Zometa infusions for 7 months. I was extremely tired to the point I didn't want to get out of bed, sleeping more than I ever had, only being awake at most 5 hours a day, lost my appetite, lost weight, muscle pain, and just quality of life was so that I didn't want to go anywhere or do anything. I have not done infusions since January because I was having issues with my mouth. Hurt to wear my partial. After reading about the downside of Zometa, I do not want to continue taking it. Going to ask my doctor for a different treatment. I have also noticed after not taking the infusions, I sleep less, awake, and feel so much better. Was getting 4 mg once a month. This drug scares me."
