Evenity after Forteo or Tymlos?

Regarding following Tymlos with Evenity, there may not be enough research to make doctors comfortable with that, but I think there is very little research altogether on these drugs.
I have taken Forteo, Tymlos, and now Evenity. I consider every one of them to be radical. Evenity only not that long ago had a black box warning. If someone had told me that I would be flinging myself out into this brave new world of medicine , I wouldn’t have believed them. The decision to take all these new age drugs was ten years in the making and involved a team of physicians who I knew and trusted. Their enthusiasm for the drugs is not based on years of study - it’s based on positive results so far.
I have been fortunate to not suffer any side effects. Of course, it’s possible to have side effects that are not obvious.
I read Dr Lana Simpson’s book years ago and consulted with her before I started the Forteo and the Tymlos. She is pretty even handed about the drugs. She’s all about lifestyle efforts to save bones, but has always said that she herself is open to taking the new drugs.
So, it seems that most of us do enter into this drug treatment regime after a lot of research and consultation.

Lani Simpson is on Tymlos.

@susanfalcon52 There is plenty of data for all of these drugs, though of course Evenity is newer in actual practice.

The lack of data concerns the sequencing. There is no data as yet for Evenity after Tymlos.

Anecdotally, Evenity does add bone density after Tymlos but studies apparently need to catch up.

I am puzzled as to why so many docs are prescribing this sequence without data. None of the docs around here will prescribe it.
