I had a horrible rebound effect from stopping Prolia, too, and not being put on something stronger than oral bisphosphenates to counteract it. That’s one you can’t take a “holiday” from without a plan for another medication. I’m not sure about the maximum Reclast dosage or whether it’s available as an injection, I was under the impression it was only as an infusion. I’m glad I know my doctor now will order labs to keep a check on my BTMs, no matter what I am on or not on. Best of luck and health to you!
There's no Prolia holiday. The way it works, if you stop, the rebound effect will cause rapid bone loss. You cannot stop Prolia and not take any more drugs.
Drugs like Fosamax and Reclast are different. You can have holidays with those, during which you'd be monitored.
