I was on Prolia for a year. What a mistaken. My hair started breaking at ear length (I have long hair) and the texture was horrible. I switched to Evenity with no side effects but now have to get off it as a year is over. My doctor wants me to do Reclast. I won't--it's a yearly shot so if you have bad side effects--you can't get it out of your system fast. Many doctors don't realize the effect that these drugs can have on the rest of your body. They just think of your bones. But if your quality of life is so diminished, including your mental health, it is not worth it to me.

@jsmigielski I have been told we need Reclast to "lock in gains" or else we lose them. The idea, according to my doc, is that we might be able to do one or two infusions of Reclast and then take a med break, depending on monitoring.

I also want to add that my doc is going to do a 20% test dose due to my sensitivities to meds. I will hydrate and the infusion will be slow.

I am concerned for you that you might lose the progress you made on Evenity but check with your doc!
