I joined this very helpful group because I had such severe side effects from my second injection of Prolia and I was trying to gather all the wisdom that I could to help me decide what to take next to avoid the rebound effects from stopping Prolia. I received my first infusion of Reclast on March 23, 2022. This was the only medication that all of my doctors could agree would be the next best step. I want to thank all of you who gave me such helpful information. I asked my doctor if she would please order the infusion to be given more slowly than the recommended 15 minutes. She agreed and my infusion was for one hour. I also drank 64 ounces the day before, the day of and the day after the infusion. So far I have some joint pain and I have had a few episodes of foot bone pain, but nothing like the severe pain I had with Prolia. I hope that I continue to be free from the severe pain I had with Prolia. I have a bone density scheduled for next month. I am so grateful for your advice and support. I will keep you posted as to my progress. If you are considering Reclast. I strongly recommend you have a slow infusion and drink more water than they recommend.

Thank you for the info on slow infusion and hydration. Did you take any meds, like tylenol or benadryl? Reclast is in my future, after Tymlos, and my doc also mentioned a partial dose as a possibility, and after one infusion said I could be monitored and take breaks. Good luck and again grateful for the info on effectiveness of those strategies.
