Fosamax is a bisphosphonate. Unlike denosumab (prolia) and teriparatide (forteo) it doesn't mess with our hormones, etc the same way so there's really nothing to "rebound". At least not that I've ever heard, for what that's worth!

Hi RobinLouise, to echo HeronNS, no, that is not something associated with Fosamax. Read more about bisphosphonates here ... americanbonehealth.org/medi...

Robin Louise , I heard that once you take that stuff it stays in the cells

for the rest of your life , but check on it online because this is what I read on the dreaded fosamax which is so dangerous it needs to be yanked off the market

Not what you're looking for?
