Hey, Greenrivers.
I was on Fosamax for a year or so, with no issues at all. (I'm also pretty fit, with no history of digestive problems, which I believe makes a difference.) I'm not taking it now because I'm scheduled for a dental implant, and my doctor agreed that going off for 6 months would be the safest.
I'd say try it, if that's what your doctor recommends. You can always drop it if it doesn't work for you.
Good luck!
I have been on Fosamax generic for 4 1/2 years with no side effects. I'll be taking a drug holiday.
I took it for 3 months and developed a rash and itch on my chest snd back and had to discontinue. I take vitamins and do weight bearing exercises now. Good luck.
