Discouraged by Prolia & Alendronate side effects

Posted by hmbrglr @hmbrglr, Feb 16 7:09am

I don’t like to complain with so many people finding benefits from these meds but I have been trying to go with the flow and not having good effects. I developed a severe skin rash after Prolia and switched to Alendronate now it’s my 7th week. I get very lose stools d bad stomach h aches and feel lousy . It seems to get worse each week ( I take a weekly dose ) snd follow all the directions. I want to go off and take my chances to see what will happen. I k ow this isn’t advisable but at this point idk!!

Yes, talk to her and do your own research too. Go in prepared with what you are learning and don't be afraid to ask "why this drug. What is the long-term plan for treatment. "
