For others: I cannot handle large doses of medicines that stay in the body, like @artscaping. However I have GERD and cannot take oral alendronate. My doctor is giving me 1 mg Reclast, rather than 5mg, and would even do .5mg, and I can have that every 3 months or every 6 months. I saw another endocrinologist who said "we do that all the time." Studies show that 2.5mg is as effective as 5mg on the usual schedule. My doses will be more frequent, 2-4 times/year. I'll post on how it goes.

It helps to have doctors who will work with you flexibly.

Also, I have been told I can wait 2-3 months after Evenity to start the Reclast. With Tymlos, I was told to take it right up until the first dose of Reclast.

Sorry to be off topic here though I suppose Reclast is relevant to getting off Prolia!

I hope you do well with reclast. I also have issues with drugs. My doc says my body processes drugs slower. I am happy to know that you have a couple of Endos willing to do the smaller dose. I asked mine about it and she instantly said no. No studies to prove it works and insurance won’t allow it. So I’ll be searching for another doc for when I am at the end of my bone builder
Best wishes to you.
