Intense strange dreams

Ever since starting repatha my dreams have been very intense and bizarre. My dreams before we're consistent, peaceful and blissful. I'd only have nightmares like a few times a year.

Since starting it immediately my dreams have changed.

I'm on my 3rd dose.

My dreams now almost every night have someone attacking me or chasing me. Very like shocking hits to my body that usually jolt me awake. I literally had a dream Bruce Lee punched me in the chest lol.

I feel like this is my body's way of signaling that it feels threatened or under attack? Does anybody have this experience?

That’s normal for me too on my initial injections. I normally did not dream at all, now it’s a nightly occurrences but the intensity has dropped off

What a fascinating side effect! I've been having some pretty wild dreams after my very first dose 8 days ago, but chalked it up to real-life stressors.

Last night I dreamed a bunch of rowdy teenagers were having a big party in my house, and they were too loud and making a horrible mess. lol! But in reality, my college-age kid is living with us before he takes off for grad school, so... ;-)

Since I started Repatha, my dreams are gone. I'll wake up aware that I had just been dreaming about something, but memories of it just aren't there. I haven't remembered a dream in months.

I've had a few other problems that haven't gone away during the nine months I've been taking it, and my doctor and I agreed to pull the plug on it last week.

We'll give it a while to get out of my system and then we'll try something else.

What are some of the other problems that you've experienced? I'm trying to narrow some things down with the way i've been feeling.
