Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: Nov 5 10:09pm | Replies (1348)Comment receiving replies
I just completed a full year on Evenity. My scan showed enough improvement so that I am in the osteopenia range instead of osteoporosis. I have seen two rheumatologists, both of whom suggest following up with Prolia in order to hold on to the gains. I am reluctant to start Prolia and commit to being on it for the rest of my life. I am 60.

My doc recommends Reclast after bone-growing drugs like Evenity, Forteo or Tymlos. Reclast stays in the system longer than Prolia so there is not the sudden drop off in bone density when stopped. He mentioned doing 1/4 dose and monitoring, so Reclast could be given less frequently and only according to blood tests and/or DEXA.

@elisbethv how were your side effects on Evenity? Excellent progress! I'm in the other boat—have been on Prolia for years (no side effects), now I have to change—Evenity was suggested and Reclast, which I had a bad reaction to 12 yrs ago when I took it. Just came from a 2nd opinion consult (another Endo, I love mine but... Completely different approach and drugs—Fosamax—said she's "old school". I'm 66 and if I could take Prolia for the rest of my life I'd do it in a heartbeat.
