Hello @ladyjds. Osteoporosis medications are powerful medications and many members are reluctant to start them. It is easy to be overwhelmed by conversations of potential side effects and bad experiences. Like any medication, patients have to weigh the pros and cons which can involve the risk of a severe bone break at an age where recovery could be difficult or potential side effects can sometimes seem common, but are a smaller percentage.

I combined your discussion with an existing discussion titled:

"Prolia for osteoporosis"

As @sondrachristo1 suggested, there is a discussion about potentially getting off of Prolia:

"Prolia discontinuation"

When stopping or starting a powerful medication like Prolia, it is best to do so with your provider.
