Would like to know people's experience using Fosamax

I have been on Fosamax for about 10 years with no problems. Checked every 2 years or so with some up, some down. Retired and moved and new endocrinologist says I should take a one year holiday which I plan to do shortly if my Parkinson’s doctor thinks I can stabilize enough to be fairly sure I won’t fall.. Stay tuned.

I just started alendronate and my Rheumatologist told me there's a "Drug Holiday" after five years which is consistent with what I've been reading.

@ggopher i’m also on Fosamax but haven’t seen any good results. I’m wondering why you’ve been on it for 10 years. Did your doctor prescribe it for 10 years? Have you seen any positive results via DEXA scan?
