Thanks for the supportive words, gently. No, I don't think I would be in a hurry to go onto Forteo, Tymlos or any other osteo med after my scare with Prolia. In any case, my current priority is to cease all anti-resorptives and that would take at least another year. My plan is to continue weekly Alendronate till end-Dec 2024; take another BTM and then move to fortnightly Alendronate for 6 months and perhaps followed by monthly Alendronate for another 6 months before stopping altogether at end-Dec 2025. Throughout this period, I will have to rely on my BTM tests to alert me to any possible rebound effect

@formisc, I wondered. With your T score many endocrinologists would not have prescribed osteo meds for you. Cheers to your escape.

@formisc You provided a fine example of careful planning and usage of bone markers for monitoring progress. Curiously, is your planned reducing dose to once every 2 weeks for 6 mo then once monthly thereafter for the second year a well studied regimen? Generic fosamax -alendronate comes in with many dose strength as you probably know. They could provide a way for titrating dose downward in a gradual manner.

Thank you for sharing your ongoing prolia cessation experience. Best wishes.
