Hi there,
I was very, very interested to read your question regarding Risedronate, balance problems and dizziness. It would be good to know if you have had any answers to this, if you have undertaken any research into these problems.
My wife is taking Risedronate 35 mg once a week and has been experiencing these very problems and we are trying to find out if Risedronate is the culprit.
Many thanks in advance

@oldbones76 How long has your wife been on it? I am also having extreme dizziness but lasts only a few minutes and have double vision once in a while. I am on 35mg weekly. My doctor thinks the dizziness is coming from the crystals in my ears but I am not convinced. This started right after I started taking the drug.

@oldbones76 I have read it is a side effect of this drug. Is your wife still on it? I am going to an encrinologist to see what other medication I can take with less side effects. Unfortunately I think all the osteoporosis drugs have side effects. I will keep you posted
