I stopped Prolia after about 6 shots and went on Boniva monthly, exercising, eating healthy etc. After a little over a year I have had 3 new compression fractures of the spine and my bones are very fragile. I am 67 years old! The rebound effect of stopping Prolia can be devastating so make sure you have a good plan for transitioning . I know now my PCP was not knowledgeable enough about the risks of stopping Prolia. You basically need to plan to be on it the rest of your life if you start.
I started Tymlos 4 days ago and I am praying it helps me build back some of the bone I have lost and I can go forward from here much more informed.
So many of us are just flying blind, trusting our medical professionals to lead us in the right direction….
This forum has been so helpful to me!

@jennirdf McCormick told me that Boniva is not a good choice among the bisphosphonates to manage rebound, and after 6 shots would recommend Reclast. I have several fractures and extend my sympathies! MCCormick in "Great Bones" and Leder in his video on You Tube (Combining and Sequential Approaches to Osteoporosis) say that Tymlos and Forteo are not effective after Prolia but since you did a bisphosphonate in between, I am hoping you get good results. Maybe you can do Evenity after the Tymlos as well.
