You should probably see an endocrinologist before stopping Prolia. You can do one infusion of Reclast to lock in gains. But check Dr. McCormick's book "Great Bones" on the timing of the Reclast because if done too early, it won't work and if done too late, it won't help with the possible loss from stopping Prolia. The standard 6 month interval doesn't fit everyone. I have read that even one dose of Prolia should be followed up with Reclast, but check with an endo!

Unfortunately, my Prolia is effectively stopped because the doctor will not prescribe the 3rd injection. I would love to consult with an endocrinologist, but that is easier said than done.
I sent to my doctor something from NIH surveying and compiling the literature on discontinuing Prolia. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9081316/ . Much to my surprise I received a call and he is now putting me on alendronate for one year.
I am thinking that is better than going off Prolia cold turkey and will continue trying to find a consult with an endocrinologist. Thank you for your response and encouragement.
