Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?

Evenity can be continued for two years and will continue to benefit bone density according to this report.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29694685/
The report is based on a study of patients who received Evenity for two years, followed by Prolia after completion of 2 years of Evenity. The report says that bone density continued to increase throughout the the 2 years of Evenity and continued to increase during the following year of treatment with Prolia.
I would be interested in thoughts of others in regard to this possible treatment
I have been taking Evenity for 7 months with no side effects.

I reviewed the study about continuing Evenity for two years with my endocrinologist. The study is posted here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29694685/ My endocrinologist wrote me an email that says the following: "Based on the current knowledge I would not favor proceeding directly with a second year of Evenity, but rather switch to an anti-resorbing drug. Having said that, a second Evenity course in the future is a reasonable option. Another alternative is to switch to a cyclical form of therapy, with intervening short courses of Evenity against a background therapy with anti-resorbing agents."
I would appreciate thoughts of anyone who has experience related to this.

Thanks for the post. Interesting that the trial results were published in 2018 and today's general recommendation is for a year of treatment as it seems to lose efficacy after that amount of time. Likely the insurance companies will not cover beyond a year. I plan to begin Evenity soon but am concerned about follow-up treatment such as Prolia.
