Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?

@dianestanley Evenity and Prolia are made by the same company and the site tells docs to follow Evenity with Prolia. The question is, how are you going to get off Prolia? If you are old enough that may not be a problem 🙂 But if not, you will have to go on Reclast anyway and the timing of that is very tricky in order to avoid the quick bone loss and increase in fracture risk from going off Prolia. This is all info from my doc and also covered in McCormick's book "Great Bones." Wishing you luck. I am the same point and with kidney disease may end up on Prolia due to no other options, but am first trying a small dose of Reclast. I cannot take alendronate due to GERD. No good options!

McCormick says you can follow up Evenity with Fosomax or others not just Prolia. Of course the company that meis Evenity encourages you to follow up with their other drug. After some issues on Evenity I decided on Fosomax as it’s been around a long time. Having DEXA this month so will see if gains are holding.
I had Reclast infusions for three years. Bone density kept decreasing, so I’m getting my first Evenity injection on Tuesday. Yes, I’m a worried - but it’s my only option at this point. After a year, I was hoping to go back in Reclast infusions, but my rheumatologist said I would go on Prolia. Has anyone gone on Reclast after Evenity instead of Prolia?

I hope that you have great luck with the Reclast.
