Has anyone stopped Evinity before a yr ?

I have been on Evinity for 6 months. My Dr may be taking me off . Getting really bad side affects. They last for a week . Not sure if I should live with it or Stop. I’ll be put on something else. He did mention . With Evinity. The first 6 months. Are your most benefit. What do most of you take after Evenity ? Reclast sounds good . But you can’t have any dental work.
I’m just so confused . I can’t take Forteo . Already used it . Thanks

Please keep up posted on what your Cardiologist recommends. I hope you will consider not taking the Evenity due to the complications/side effects you are having. You need to think about your overall health when deciding this.... There are other medications out there that you have not tried. My thoughts are with you during this stressful situation.

Thank you for your concern. I will keep you posted. I am starting too feel much better after two weeks of hell but still conflicted as what to do. It’s now up to my Cardiologist & my Rheumatologist. Thanks again. Hope you have a blessed day! LAB54

dreamjean, if you need dental work hold off on the Prolia or any Osteoporosis meds. I went too 6 dental specialists & all concurred that Prolia had too be stopped. So after only one injection I had too forgo my second injection . I had no side effects except severe dental issues. I even went to Gainsville too a top specialist who told me no Prolia. After talking with my Rheumatologist she waited 2 years before trying Forteo which I couldn’t afford & put me on Evenity. But IF you need crowns, root canals or bridges do not go in Prolia until your dental issues are fixed. Trust me, these doctors who put us on these meds don’t realize how serious it is when you need dental work. Please get your dental issues all sorted out & done by a good dental specialist & then go on Prolia. Trust me on this one! Good luck & please keep me updated. Thank you, LAB54

I am already on Evinity . I can’t just Stop . As far as dental work . I don’t think I need any major . . I was suppose to get Prolia injection today . I’m staying on Evinity for now . This is so frustrating . I would like to go back on Forteo . Im not sure if I can . Was on it in 2018 and 2019. Than nothing . Damn Dr dropped the ball on me . That’s why Im in this mess . I have been on Evinity for 7 months now . I know Forteo worked in the past . . Not sure if it will work if on Evinity than back to Forteo

I’m feeling much better since I had my first round of Evenity. Had a doctors appointment & my Cardiologist told me too give Evenity another chance & IF I get the same issues too stop taking it. So this Thursday I get my second round of Evenity. I’m hoping & praying that all goes well & I don’t get any bad side effects. I honestly don’t want too stop it but I was very ill.
