Hi,
My Hair loss was not severe-since I had very thick hair to begin with. I am 76 so hair loss is a product of aging. I was on actonel 35 mg. once a week for about 6 months and I started gagging on food not able to swallow properly. Had a barium swallowing test done -and they said I had some GERD. This is all from actonel-since I NEVER had this before. I have also had bloating between the Prolia and Actonel. So right now I am on a "drug holiday"-I am extremely fit take lots of natural calcium daily and my bone density showed some improvement. I was lucky after one Prolia shot and going off it I did not have rebound but maybe the actonel helped.

My hair fell out in great gobs right after my 3d Prolia shot.
This was 2 years ago. I refused to get any more shots so the doc put me on Risedronate. I haven’t had any repercussions.
I am now 79. I had a fall a couple months ago but didn’t break any bones.
My hair has come back a long way but still not as thick as it was.
