Hasty Reclast prescription
I was prescribed Reclast by an endo who never discussed options. I've had two infusions with no side effects and am scheduled for third this summer. I've since learned about Evenity - my understanding is that it's a "bone builder" and Reclast is a "bone maintenance" drug. Would it be wise to stop Reclast for a year and switch to an Evenity regimen, then return to Reclast? I'm 80, active, in good health other than osteoporosis. I've changed endos but haven't asked this question.

He did you a disservice by not discussing options with you. I am sure you will get some ideas from the research and the experiences others here have had. In the meantime read through some of the posts under Osteoporosis and the subheadings.

3 ReactionsMaybe time for 2nd opinion, as these decisions can have lasting effects. Ask as many questions as possible.

4 ReactionsHave you had a recent DEXA? I would think that would be helpful in your decision. I would consider discussion your thoughts with your current provider. Hopefully they can guide you in the right direction based on your bone status.
