@bepsie just want to make sure you know that Prolia has a very strong rebound when stopped, resulting in bone loss back to where you were before treatment and increase in fracture risk. You have to go on Reclast to address the rebound. If you only do 1-3 Prolia shots, you might be able to do Fosamax. My doctors don't use Prolia because of the rebound risk.
If your osteoporosis was severe, an anabolic medication like Tymlos, Forteo or Evenity might be better but I believe that Tymlos and Forteo, at least, won't work well after Prolia. Not sure about Evenity

I appreciate your participation on this site and the experiences you share. However this reply troubles me as it skirts dangerously close to medical advice. I've read your past comments which are all highly critical of Prolia, but Prolia works very well for a lot of people and has been shown to be effective in usage up to 10 years. I understand the rebound effect, bit that is not limited to Prolia and there are drugs for transitioning off it. I've used Prolia successfully for 4 years and will transition off it in December with Zometa. I trust my oncologist, and expect a good outcome. I hope you take this in the spirit it's meant as I do appreciate reading your posts.
