@lbakerreill83 I declined Fosamax after reading articles saying it offered minimal benefits as far as fracture prevention. It slows down the loss of bone but also slows down the formation of new bone. Your DEXA may appear better, but you could have older, more brittle bones.

Here are some articles that may be of interest.

So many of us who have taken bone meds for awhile were started on fosomax. The new thinking is that how drugs are sequenced is very important and starting with a bisphosphonate may hamper the positive outcomes of bone building drugs/anabolics. Do your research.
