@rjd : Disconcerting but helpful to know that you lost your gains with Prolia after switching out to Fosamax. I've considered quitting on Prolia but your post affirms my inclination to stay on it for the long term.

@mkoch Do not know your particulars but I am in general reluctant to base my decisions on anecdotal evidence.

Good luck with Prolia....some people say once you start Prolia you should stay on it for life to avoid the rebound from quitting. But studies of Prolia only go out 10 years.

McCormick does not think alendronate is strong enough to 'stick' the Prolia gains and recommends Reclast. I wish I would have know that when I stopped Prolia but I had a doctor who did not even know about the rebound issue.

As I stated previously, I lack confidence in the DEXA result.
