Who’s taking Actonel?

Hi debhammel.
I just started the risedronate today, so this is good to hear. As usual all the listed possible side effects are a put off, but I know they err on the side of caution with these.
Because I'm on prednisone for AIH, they recommended it.
I have a bone scan scheduled in a year. Can you stop taking risedronate if your bone scan results improve? Or, are you still taking it?

I believe one can take a drug holiday if the DEXA scan shows improvement. I'll find out this coming April when I have my next scan and follow-up with my osteo doc.
