I've only tried the 35 mg once a week. I've had no adverse reactions, although it's a nuisance to have to take.

I was on weekly Actonel 35mg for about two years. I felt really unwell after each of the first two tablets - dizzy, headaches, muscle pain and blurred vision. As stopping was not an option as I was having to take a bisphosphonate to relay off Prolia, I took the 5mg tablet every couple of days and found the side effects diminished considerably. I then took the 5mg daily as it is meant to be administered, and finally after two months felt confident enough to go back to the weekly 35mg dose. I didn't have any side effects after easing onto it gently like that.

Note: I took the enteric-coated 35mg tablet which bypasses the stomach and doesn't cause digestive distress. The 5mg tablet is not enteric coated.
