I meant to include this link in my previous post. It talks about the length of treatment and drug holidays. In sum, because there are a few serious side effects, as rare as they may be, whose risk increases the longer the drug is taken, risks may outweigh benefits for people at lower risk of fracture, so drug holidays may be recommended.

How does one know the level of one's risk for bone fractures? Is there a test for this level of risk or does one just take a chance by following medical advice and see what happens?
