What should I know before starting Evenity?

@spiderplant Like you, I have seen little online about how long after the last Evenity shot you should wait to start a follow up drug. My doc told me to start 30 days after I finish Evenity but offered no reason why or what would happen if you waited 2 or 3 months. I haven't been searching for info on that but if you find any please post it.
I've decided on Risedronate. It was my wish based on Dr Michael McClungs logic on the subject as stated in an open mic discussion during the last Santa Fe Bone Conference. He recommended it if you want to do another round of Evenity with a year or so period in between which is what i want to do.

I just finished Evenity. My endocrinologist wanted me to wait 5 mo. But I was concerned. Checked the prolia website and the say 1 months and 7 days. I emailed him my concern and he called me and said he had contacted some other "bone docs) and some do 6 mo and some 1 mo. I hate that their is so much is unknown. Scary!

@awfultruth glad you mentioned a doctor. I am going to look him up.
My doctor said 60 days was the limit for waiting between Evenity and my low dose Reclast. He said Evenity "takes awhile to mineralize" so didn't want me to do it right away.
