Many years ago, I had a bad reaction to Bonita and Fosamax, so they put me on Evista(daily).
My Endocrinologist wants me to do Evenity then Prolia and I absolutely do not want to do Prolia for the rest of my life.
I just turned 70, 5’4”, 125 lbs, have always been very active. My spinal is -3.1.
I am very concerned about the side effects of all these drugs (which is just going to slow me down) and the cost, as well. I just don’t want to become another sheep in the pharmaceutical flock. I have an appointment with my doctor on Wed. I really don’t know what to do.

@artisan3 you can do Reclast or another bisphosphonate after Evenity to "lock in gains." I have been told that I might be able to take a medication break after one or two infusions of Reclast following Tymlos, with adequate monitoring. Prolia is difficult to get off and according to my docs and McCormick's new book "Great Bones," the process of getting off requires careful timing of transition to Reclast to avoid sudden bone loss.

I took, never wanted to be part of supporting the pharmaceutical I dustrial complex. However, I .just also say I am grateful for some other drugs that help me. I can't imagine it having the choices. As for the difficulty of these choices I refer us to the Jungian therapist Marion Woodman who spoke of "holding the tension of the opposites".
