I'm now 20 months into Tymlos, nearing the end of the two-year treatment. My osteoporosis is now osteopenia. The plan is for me to take Fosamax for a year and then stop. (I told the doctor I didn't want any Reclast infusions.) We'll monitor afterwards and see how it goes. I continue to pay attention to diet and the proper exercise.

Some people do take drug "holidays" for a while, and then go back on a medication, and then maybe take another holiday. This is unfortunately something that will require lifelong monitoring, unless a magic pill is invented.
