I've taken bone density drugs for 25 years so was hoping for an alternative. I've taken Fosamax, Forteo, Boniva and Prolia. I didn't have many side effects. But going off Prolia for 2 years has caused my density to go from almost normal to osteoporosis. I was just told I should never have stopped Prolia because this is what happens. I hope you find something that works for you.
I feel the same way after years on aromatase inhibitors with their accompanying pain. I don’t want to take a drug that makes me feel older and more painful than I do now. Yet, I need to strengthen my bones. Top surgical dental implant specialist told me the drug that is preferred to prevent jaw necrosis is Prolia. He also said Forteo is better than Evenity.
I am suppose to start meds as well and scared like you I too have had no fractures. Hope you get replies
