@lori5548 I took Fosamax for 5 years and I have a history of anxiety and depression. I did not notice any changes - an upswing in depression and/or anxiety - while I was on Fosamax. I take duloxetine (Cymbalta), 20mg/day, which is a low dose and it works for me.

Fosamax has been around a long time and so side effects, when they occur, should be well known. Have you talked with your prescribing doctor?

Thanks Helen. I take cymbalta as well. I took 20 mg every other day for years and now take it every day. I have not talked to my provider. I keep thinking I will go back to my normal. I do see a psychiatrist ever 3 months and will mention at my next appointment. Thanks for sharing your experience.
