I am also concerned about the heart attack and stroke risk. I hve cancelled my Evenity apointment 2 times. It keeps me up at night trying to decide what to do. I've tried all the other drugs and don't want to do Prolia. All my doctors say it's my decision.

@bwaykm I hope you can keep an appointment for Evenity.

Many drugs have stroke and heart risks listed as possible side effects- even my NSAID.

If you look at the FRAME and ARCH studies on cardiovascular risk with Evenity, there is no difference between Evenity and placebo. There is a small but apparently statistically significant difference with alendronate and I have read that might be because alendronate is somewhat protective.

I have afib and had no heart/ cardiovascular issues with Evenity!
