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

I asked why Prolia versus Evenity or others. His responded that he saw better results with Prolia. Now, after reading how many do not like Prolia and the side effects are experiencing….i am beginning to question his choice.
How does one consult with Keith McCormick?
Anyone taking Prolia that like it?
Thanks for the response. Appreciate it.

Apparently (from the YouTube by Dr. Ben Leder and other sources) Prolia works well to increase bone density. On this forum some are using it very short term to get a boost between Tymlos, Forteo or Evenity and a bisphosphonate (which locks in gains).
I have a friend who is 84 on Prolia who has no side effects. All of these meds are different for each of us.
The problem with Prolia is the rebound loss of density and increase in fracture.
Evenity is supposed to be very potent for bone growth so I am wondering why your doctor said Prolia was better than Evenity. Also the Evenity site suggests Prolia after Evenity but not the other way around (both are made by Amgen).
Lots to discuss with a doctor. McCormick might help and also a second opinion.
Are you seeing an endocrinologist or is this a PCP? Insurance tends to prefer bisphosphonates or Prolia because they are cheaper and the doctor may have to do a letter of medical necessity for Evenity, depending on your DEXA and history. Insurance can be a problem for us in getting meds in the proper sequence!
