Yes, my hair is still falling out and the strands of hair I do have, (which used to be thick and healthy), are now thin and limp. Having other issues as well with Prolia. I am a month overdue for my third shot and am strongly resisting taking it again. I know all of the consequences of not continuing with it but I don’t care. Side note: no one ever told me before I started that I couldn’t stop! I feel scammed by Prolia. Waiting for the next step my “new” doctor advises. This whole situation is horrible. I feel like i’m between a rock & a hard place. Best if luck to you!

Agree!!! I was never told you cannot stop! I’m close to finding out where to go to start looking for wigs. My scalp is showing through everywhere. It seems so unfair for a doctor to tell you to go on a medication because it will help you and not tell you, you will have to take it for life no matter how severe the side affects. This has happened to me twice now in my life. I’m now petrified to take any new medication. And when I am suggested to take something new I look it up and they all say it can under some circumstances cause death! So all side affects are not supposed to be concerning because they are all dangerous in some degree! I don’t get it…..yet….I do get it. Talk about confusion.

I quit Prolia after the 3d shot. My hair fell out in massive amounts!
I am now on Risedronate 35 mg. tablet.
My pharmacist tells me that it comes in different strengths. I have to talk to my doctor about that.
My hair still coming out but just slightly in comparison. I am taking the vitamin, Biotin.
I would like to know if anyone's hair has grown back.
