Welcome, @jpareti1. It's always confusing when you get 2 differing opinions from specialists. I'm tagging several members like @spiderplant @daph @susanfalcon52 @riddick @gravity3 @gently @triciaot @sandrac who have experience with Evenity or Reclast or both.

- Reclast: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/osteoporosis/?search=reclast#discussion-listview

Since you've already experienced a fracture, it might be risky to quit altogether. I would talk with each endocrinologist to find out the benefits and risk with each option: Reclast only, Evenity followed by Reclast, risk of no medication.

Are you able to contact your specialists through a patient portal or appointment to help with the decision making?

Thanks. Yes my specialists have given me their opinions. But I like doing my own research. Esp since a specialist put me in this mess in the first place because he didn’t bother to mention that I can’t just quit Prolia, and that I shouldn’t stay on it much more than 2.5 yrs. And he was also a renowned end in MBD at HSS in NYC.
The endo who now wants to put me on Evenity is a researcher who does studies with Amgen , the manufacturer of Prolia and Evenity. I asked her if there are studies of people who have relayed from Prolia to Evenity and she said no, not yet. So I say no thank you!
Thanks for the links. I like to hear from people who have quit Prolia.
I’ll check them out.
