what is your experience with fosamax?

@daisy17 I am not worried about half life. I would stop because of the side effects and how I felt when taking the meds. Please read reactions to Reclast infusions. I even joined a Facebook group to learn more about Reclast side effects with so many negative posts. I realize that some do not suffer extreme side effects but many do. At my age, I do not want to chance that I may be the unlucky one living with severe side effects. And Prolia, once you start taking it, impossible to stop with also bad side effects reported. Not too many great choices in Osteoporosis therapy.

@susanew I agree. I wish there were better drugs that could help us without the terrible side effects. I am 76 and have severe osteoporosis. I haven't fractured so I've decided not to take any of the bone meds. I hope I don't regret this decision down the road. But my options are limited because I can't take Tymlos or Forteo due to parathyroid issues. I don't want to try Evenity (too new) or Prolia (due to fracture events after stopping) and have read bisphosphonates only offer minimal benefits against fracture prevention. So I'm taking a lot of supplements and hoping to minimize more bone loss.
