I am also on anti seizure meds that supposedly do not contribute to my osteoporosis. I have taken meds for 45 years and suspect that any long-term meds may contribute to other problems. I have not followed through with any other Drs . My bone density improved 4% with Evenity. Hope you receive some answers and better care.

Which anti seizure drug were you on? Keppra/levetiracetam?

What a great result with Evenity. I'm so happy for you. Lock in those gains as best you can.
Forty-five years on seizure meds? Wow! What kind of seizures do you have?
Epilepsy and and osteoporosis can be an unfortunate combination of disorders. So many of the AEDs are proven to cause bone loss, and the meds are really necessary in most epilepsy cases.
We have do everything that's in our power for our health. Taking Evenity seemed like a good choice on your part. That's one of the meds that may be in my future.
