I would only suggest that these are ideas that are complimentary rather than contradictory. There is not scientific dispute that zolendronate persists in bone longer than risidronate. Personalized medicine indicates that because our situations differ, the most appropriate treatment also differs.
Cheers for your positive response to Reclast

@gently I have not seen the idea about using risedronate anywhere and will ask my doctor. Can you share a source? It seems to be a matter of priority: locking in gains from Tymlos is my priority, but in looking ahead I certainly hope to do Tymlos or Forteo again if needed. So in a way I do see these two routes as contradictory. Your idea makes me nervous! Would like to see any studies before I do another 20% Reclast dose.
