So much good information in this thread -- thanks @gently and others. @gently, do you have any information on whether Fosamax or Reclast is "safer" -- meaning less likely to cause ONJ??? I haven't been able to find much info, and my doc (a specialist at Cleveland Clinic) is recommending Reclast once I stop Tymlos. According to her, both stay in your bones, so one is not better than the other. I was thinking Fosamax would be better because you could stop taking it if you needed invasive dental work.

I was also wondering about weight gain regarding any of the rebound-after-prolia drugs and the dreaded hair loss propensity? I cancelled my Reclast appt and will take Prolia for 6 months to make a decision between transitioning to Relax vs any of the others in its class, also to see which one has the least "holiday" from it you need to take, in case of dental work.
@sebutler Following...! I have many questions & concerns. Diagnosed with severe osteoporosis (-4.10 left femer)
It has been suggested I begin Evenity, I am having a tooth pulled next week.
I am reading as much as I can and slowly heading towards the Evenity, with much fear! I need bilateral hip surgery due to osteoarthritis, and don't dare move forward with that until my bones are stronger. I am in so much pain that exercise is out of the question..I need a hug!

For how long would you have to stop Fosonax in order to have dental work? I heard this drug can cause bad reflux issues?
