How do we know Evenity won’t have the same rebound issue as Prolia?

Can anyone explain the advantages of going off of Prolia and going onto Reclast instead? I have had 3 Prolia injections and have been happy on it. I have just started with a new physician group which recommends switching from Prolia to Reclast, but I am afraid of the side effects with Reclast.

Some docs don't like to use Prolia because it is so hard to get off. The rebound causes a sudden drop in bone density and increase in fracture risk. This can be mitigated by going on Reclast.
I hope you can ask your doctor their reasoning. It might be because the longer you are on Prolia, the harder it is to get off. There is no such issue with Reclast. Then again I know women who are on Prolia for years. If you are older it might be worth considering (if getting off won't be an issue).
