My MD said he is putting his patients on Prolia after the Evenity course. Every MD is different as to what they prescribe. You need to be pro-active in your choice. I have read on this site that many people are going to be taking Reclast. I have had some friends and family members also taking Reclast and some have had some terrible side effects, but others have had none. I have 9 months to decide what I will choose to take. I am glad your injections have been going well for you.

@pedsnurse61 if you do Prolia you will eventually do Reclast or another bisphosphonate anyway because you cannot just stop Prolia without quickly losing what you gained.

In his new book "Great Bones," Dr, Keith McCormick explains that Reclast stays in the system much longer than Prolia, with a very long half life of 10 years, so you can safely take a break from meds once your gains have been "locked in."

You can do Prolia for a few years, but you also, according to the same book, have to be careful about the timing of the switch to Reclast from Prolia. If too soon, the Reclast won't work and if too late, the rebound effect of stopping Prolia could already kick in. He suggests doing CTX tests to determine timing.
