Can one stop taking prolia after the first shot?

Hi,
I'm on Prolia for the past 2 years ...one injection in February and the 2nd one in August. I'm getting extremely anxious about having this substance in my body. My side effects so far are not too bad...but I am concerned about continuing on it. I need dental work and I believe that is very dangerous. I am also experiencing muscular pains in my legs at night and aim very tired. I'm 62 and I don't think I should be feeling so tired and also so stiff after sitting or driving for a while.
I would respectfully like to ask advice on what I should replace Prolia with as I have read that it is not possible to just stop it.
My doctor did not mention any side effects when she prescribed this for me.
I wonder was there any point in taking it at all or was it better if I never had taken it .
Thanks for reading this.

@myra77 Sorry this is happening to you. My doctor didn't mention side effects to me either. My cousin had a stroke after one shot of Evenity. I was slated to take it, and I refused and wound up with Prolia. I had rapid heart and muscle spasms without having low blood calcium. Not taking anymore Prolia. Maybe I should ask for Fosamax again to ward off breaks after stopping Prolia.

I had 1 infection of Prolia in June of ‘25. My next one is scheduled for Dec. 15th.
Within the first 3 days I broke out with a terrible rash on my arms that started to spread to my legs. In just 3 weeks time, I have had 3 rashes!
My teeth hurt, my jaw hurts, my skin itches and my bones really hurt.
I have osteoarthritis, spondoloysis and scoliosis of the spine. My T score is -4.2 for my spine and -4.3 for my hip. I have bone spurs as well.
I detest this drug and am researching other ways to deal with my bone health.
I will be 67 and have always been very active. That all changed after 1 shot.
Prolia is a wicked drug that becomes very difficult to transition off if you have taken more than 1 shot.
