Discontinuing Prolia (denosumab): How can it be done safely?

I have been on Reclast for 5 or 6 years with no side effects. My endo was not thrilled with my latest DEXA score so now i will be taking Prolia shots. She prefer Prolia over Evenity.
I was told that you can only take so many years of Reclast, thus, it might be time to change years of the scores. Interested in hearing from anyone that has taken Prolia. I realize we all are different and some may have side effects while others not (my situation with Reclast..rather stay on it but if not working…try something else). I have been very lucky that i have had no fractures but again my DEXA did not show improvement😢

you might want to check out the Prolia side effects group on FB, many people talk about the Prolia trap and side effects of that drug. Please do you research before going on Prolia

@susanjane77 Prolia has a concerning rebound when stopped. You will have to do Reclast again to get off Prolia. Both are anti-resorptive so maybe bring an increased risk of atypical femur fracture or jaw necrosis with extended use.
Why does your doctor prefer Prolia vs Evenity. I hope you can ask about Evenity, Forteo or Tymlos after doing these years of Reclast. Evenity is also anti-resorptive in the latter half. All three will mean Reclast or Fosamax to lock in gains.
If your doctor wants Prolia after Reclast I would at least get a second opinion if possible. You could also consult with Keith McCormick, author of "Great Bones." My doctor, chair of endo at a major teaching hospital, doesn't use Prolia at all (unless absolutely no other option).
