STOP! Don't do this if you have osteoporosis

@proudgrandma as you may know and is frequently discussed on this forum and by my doctors, Prolia has a very risky rebound and we are supposed to follow it with a bisphosphonate to avoid rapid bone loss and increase in fracture risk (see also McCormick's book "Great Bones" and Dr. Ben Leder's video on YouTube on Combinations and Sequencing). If you have done fewer than 3 Prolia shots, you might be able to do Fosamax. If you have done more than that on Prolia, McCormick and others advise Reclast.

It's interesting that you have only been on anti-resorptives which increase density by affecting turnover vs "bone builders" like Forteo, Tymlos and Eventiy. I have been told we cannot do Forteo or Tymlos right after Prolia but I don't know if Evenity is possible. It is complicated. I hope you can discuss with your doctor.

But stopping Prolia cold turkey is reputed to be risky!

ps @isabelle7 I am assuming you meant Prolia, not Forteo, in your last lines!

I actually meant Forteo because that's what I thought I'd read. I wonder if I mixed it up with Prolia?? Our endocrinologist told us that he would do two years of Forteo shots followed by a couple years of Reclast. My understanding was that you do the Reclast afterwards because of that same rebound effect.
