@lyall29 Yes, I had to stop Evenity, due to multiple side effects, after 1-1/2 doses (lip, tongue, face burning, significant lower body bone pain & swelling, night sweats, significant fatigue, headaches, sleep disturbance, etc). Evenity "builds" bone, while Reclast will basically maintain what you have by slowing the bone brrakdown/ reabsorption. Be sure you are ready to raise the white flag before quitting the osteoblast (bone builder) and have a talk with your doc about another osteoblast. You could also see if you can reduce your Evenity to 1/2-dose, as I tried. (Unfortunately, the immediate burning still occurred with half, deapite premedicating with Zyrtec. Had to raise my white flag, as it was putting an overseas trip in jeopardy). Good luck!!
