My endocrinologist wanted to start me on bisphosphonates because bisphosphonates have been around longer than anabolics. His plan was that I would use bisphosphonates for a couple of years then stop treatment and by the time I needed to take another osteo-med there would be more data on how anabolics (and their long term side effects etc) and as he put it "who knows what else will be available in the future." From that comment, sound like he's hoping for a miracle cure LOL.

After following my endoncrinologist's advice and taking bisphosphonates, I read that anabolics are not as effective if taken after bisphosphonates. I'm hoping that this means if taken immediately after, because it seems ridiculous to put someone on bisphosphonates only to lessen the effects of the next med they might have to take.

Another thing I should mention is that my orthopedist said that many people don't take osteo-meds until they start fracturing. Additionally, I'm it seems there are a good number of ppl with bones that T-SCORE-wise are better than my but who are fracturing when I am not.
