You explain everything so clearly. I sure appreciate this information and will use it to follow up with. I wonder how many doctors ignore reports of mental changes with the use of Evenity and say it’s age related. That’s what they told my sister. She describes, “brain cloudiness.”She has difficulty following conversations. There are probably more reactions than reported and that is why I want to. Very few articles, but more have not, that I have read about Evenity has listed “memory loss,” as a serious side effect.
We are identical twins and all these years, until now, have had the same age related change. I have not taken Evenity.
The half life of a medication has always been something that interest me. I did not think of that here. Thank you.
I am from Corpus Christi, left Texas when I married a career Navy man. I miss living there too this day. I have family in Dallas and Houston.

Being an identical twin gives you a great comparison- may I ask if you also have osteoporosis?
Wondering why your sister does and not you if you don’t?
I found social interactions exhausting but didn’t really have memory loss. After stopping Evenity, my mood lifted and my focus returned dramatically. My husband and daughter noticed it so it confirmed my own conclusion.

My experience as a patient and nurse is providers downplay when we report side effects. My endocrinologist listened to me and didn’t try to talk me into staying on Evenity. Though her first recommendation to switch to was Prolia.
After reading about how you can’t stop it and can have worse fractures if you do makes me leery.
