Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?

Hello @reb1946 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I can understand you want to hear from others who have taken Evenity. On Mayo Connect there is a discussion from members using Evenity. Here is the link to that discussion, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/evenity-osteoporosis/.
This will introduce you to those who have used (or considered) using this med to treat bone loss. If you want to ask a question of anyone in the group, just click on reply and you can ask questions or get more information.
I see that you have taken Prolia. Did you stop taking that because of the stroke in your occipital lobe or is the Prolia just not working well for your bone loss?

I had the stroke before I started Prolia. I have not stopped it but I have had 2 spinal fractures since I started Prolia and my Dr is recommending Evenity.

It might be good to know what caused your stroke.
You could look into using Tymlos or Forteo instead of Evenity for growing bone. They do not have the black box warning for cardiovascular/stroke.
I use Tymlos because the dose is adjustable and I ramped it up slowly. If you are sensitive to meds, that might be a good choice for you.
Evenity is the newest med. It grows bone but also suppresses resorption, but to a lesser degree than Prolia or biphoshonates. Tymlos and Forteo grown bone but do not suppress resorption/turnover.
