Thank you to all for sharing your experiences with these drugs. We need to hear loudly and as often as possible from those who have used these drugs for osteoporosis. Too many times our doctors, and definitely our drug companies are not forthcoming about the terrible side effects and downside to taking these meds. Keep putting it out there what you have experienced, and I strongly encourage everyone to do your own research before deciding which drug to take or whether the risk with any of them is worth it in your particular situation.

@cheriann, you make a very valid point. While I am optimistic when my different physicians prescribe for me, I do like to check out the possible side effects. Doctors are great, but they are so used to the mind set that only prescribed medications can help us feel better. I recently discovered that some of my medicines were contraindicated. I then worked with my PCP to slowly wean myself off them. Some of my meds were recalled. Again, many thanks for all your comments!
