Struggling with making an osteoporosis treatment decision

My doc is not prescribing Prolia, the drug you are referring to that leaves quickly, because that sudden drop off brings sudden increased risk of fractures. He says breaks are possible with biphosphonates, because they linger, but you cannot take a break with Prolia unless you go on something else.

What does your doctor recommend for follow up to Evenity?
I am getting #9 Evenity injections this month - pondering the follow up drug to maintain the gains. My endocrinologist is recommending Prolia after my 12th month. I’ve been told it continues to increase your bone density for another year, when followed up with the Prolia. Both monoclonal antibody technology- very cutting edge stuff!
Since you can’t stop Prolia ( wind up worse off) it’s giving me pause…
My endocrinologist says if you stop Prolia you have to take something else.
So I still have lots of questions.
I’m in good health and seem to tolerating Evenity fine- though I do feel a little weird day 5-10 after the shots each month. Kinda achy, head/skull seems sensitive- hard to explain.
But goes away.
