How long can a person hold the gains from an anabolic plus reclast?

I have heard that if you take alendronate or reclast "too much or too long" it can actually make your bones brittle. They are hard, but not necessarily better protected from fracture.

Which two anabolics did you try? I was hoping to try Tymlos or Forteo because if I had horrible side effects they would wash out of my system fairly quickly, but I can't afford either.

Yes, the bisphosphonates preserve what bone you have and suppress bone remodeling. Our bones naturally develop microfractures that need to be repaired and its the development of these microfractures that prompts the osteoclasts to start the remodeling process. The osteoclasts signal the osteoblasts to come in to build new bone. This all stops on bisphosphonates but the wear and tear on your bones never stops.

I tried Tymlos then generic Forteo between June 2024 and March 2025. I had fatigue, bone and joint pain, constipation, bloating and a bit of nausea on both. Tymlos was a little easier while Forteo was awful.
