@hammondp2 You may already know this but the first bone building benefits are in the first 6 months. I had somewhat debilitating muscle/bone pain after 6-7 months but kept going for 11 months. I sometimes wish I had quit around 8 months but all pain started to go away after ending Evenity but it took several months. I was taking it for bone building so could have stopped earlier maybe and taken something to lock in gains then. I didn't have any pain or mobility issues before taking Evenity but while on it thought I had ruined my health! It was anxiety producing for sure and I was told what I was experiencing was unrelated to Evenity until I found info at this website. Not everyone experiences this adverse reaction. Thank God that I am back to "normal" now and keeping up with risedronate sodium, diet and exercise to do the best I can. Hope it goes well for you!
