Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?

I have pretty severe osteoporosis which I tried to treat naturally (food, nutrients, exercise) but it only got worse. Two docs with whom I consulted strongly advise me to go on Evenity, however I am very nervous about it given the warnings and the short amount of time it has been on the market. The alternative is Prolia, which is also not without risk, however it is milder and I know many people that went on it and had no issues. When I read your story from 2020, it sounded very similar to mine. It sounds like you tolerated Evenity well. Do you have any advice for me?

@gretch19 you could consider Tymlos or Forteo, which build bone. Prolia is not an anabolic bone-builder and there are problems with it because when you stop, there is an abrupt loss of bone density and increase in fracture risk.

I chose Tymlos over Evenity in the first place. You inject with a pen each day and I was able with doc's approval to adjust the dose, starting with a low dose and moving up. This gave me more control over side effects.

I never reached full dose but had amazing gains on Tymlos.
