@elizabeth1 I think @gently has shown admirable balance and restraint 🙂

Keith McCormick's book "Great Bones" explains the dramatic rebound effect when Prolia is stopped ( loss of bone density, increase in fracture risk) as well as the details of getting onto Reclast afterwards.

Dr. Ben Leder mentions doing Forteo for 2 years and intersecting with Prolila after 6 or 9 months (sorry I can't remember) then staying on Prolia past the end of Forteo and then Reclast.

If your bone scores aren't too bad Prolia might be a great choice. Also if you are in your 80's because you might not have to stop! The only other thing my doctor and the above resources say is that Prolia may reduce the effectiveness of bone building drugs like Tymlos, Forteo or Evenity.

My own endo doesn't use Prolia unless there are no other options. Every provider is different.

I hope you have an endocrinologist you trust who may have very good reason to be prescribing Prolia. Ultimately of course it is up to us to decide but it helps to have a doctor you can converse with.
