Can Alendronate Side Effects Emerge Slowly Over Time?

Hi there, just don’t think about side effects. Put them out of your mind. I’m 77 next month and have been on Fosamax 3 years in November. Can’t remember any side effects. If there were any I’ve forgotten. I sit in a STRAIGHT angle in my bed at 6.30 AM once a week and take my Fosamax. Then at 7 o’clock my kind husband brings me coffee, toast with jam and cheese. All done, easy peasy. My Dexa scan result has improved so much so I intend to stop when reaching my 3 years goal. Fosamax stays in your body for decades so at 77 that’s enough for me… Good luck and don’t think about side effects. If any they will disappear.

I am your age and Dr is recommending Evenity. This drug will not work for me, but I have taken Fosomax in the past without side effects, except for GERD.
Can you give your scores at the start and after 3 years?
Are Fosamax and Alendronate basically the same thing?

Thank you for such a positive, uplifting comment about your Fosamax experience. You should be their poster child! If my two years will be as good as your experience I will be happy. I feel good, sleep good, eat good, walk and exercise with 3 lb weights. I am trying to regain some muscle mass. It is affecting my walking gait. But otherwise, except for some fatigue that comes on quickly in the afternoon, I think the two years my doctor suggested will go by fast and worryfree, I hope. Thanks again for the positve info!
