Prolia discontinuation
Hi, due to an osteoporosis diagnosis, I took two injections of Prolia six months apart and due two side effects, I want to come off of it. I do not want to transition to a bisphosphonate or remain on one. How do I take myself off of Prolia safely? I am not getting a straight answer from my doctor.

There are many opinions, but I like facts when I make decisions. Especially regarding my medical care. My bone density scans continue to show that I have osteopenia and good T scores. I haven't experienced any fractures and have a very active lifestyle, including Pilates several times a week. I will see what medical evidence my new doctore presents and go from there.
Had you stopped taking your prolia before the implants? I have been off of Prolia for a year and have had bone graft and scheduled for 2 implants on February 11th. I am worried about ONJ.
You should be okay but I'm not a doctor. I did not go off Prolia. I had bone graft about 3 months after my shot. And then I had my implants subsequently after I healed, also about 4 months after my last shot. I was told I needed to wait another month and it might have worked, but now I have to start all over again cuz I'm taking Prolia still.
