Any experience of drug treatment for osteoporosis

[dulciemary]

I have recently been diagnosed with severe osteoporosis and awaiting assessment for treatment. Has anyone had experience of these drugs and if so did they affect RLS?

[Sleepy65]

not severe osteoporosis but I do have it. I started taking sodium alendronate last august and haven’t noticed rls getting worse. I am currently weaning off of mirapex, down to .125 mg, which I’m going to cut in half very soon. In my mind, I question whether or not gabapentin was a factor in my osteoporosis by age 60.

Yes, I've been getting a Prolia shot every 6 months. It has no effect on my RLS, but I take no drug for RLS.

I also have severe osteoporosis and have been taking once a week Alendronate Sodium 70mg. I have not had any symptoms of RLS while taking this Rx and I have been taking it for 5 years now. Just for your information, here in the US (I don’t know what country you live in) the recommended daily supplements are Calcium 1,200mg, 800-1,000 IU for Vitamin D3 and Vitamin C 1,000mg. I hope this helps and the best of luck to you!
