What to take to discontinue Prolia safely and for how long?

However, neither the endocrinologist nor the two GPs I've spoken to seem to know whether taking a low dosage of Actonel daily will mitigate against rebound fractures, nor for how long it should be taken.

Is anyone on risedronate (Actonel) experiencing bowel pain and gas?

I've been on risedronate 5mg daily for 3 months now in order to wean off Prolia injections. I'm having a huge amount of gas (flatulence) as well as lower bowel pain from time to time. I eat a very healthy Mediterranean diet with no junk food, but it feels as if my meals are not being digested. Having

So she has given me Actonel to wean me off it, for the next three months. But after taking the Actonel, I got all the side effects with. Horrible medication, way too strong. I want to stop taking it all together. What are people's thoughts on this?

I usually run a lot & take Calcium & vit d but a (still healing) metatarsal stress fracture & this result has made

Anyone had Jaw stiffness

Don't know if iit is the pred or the Actonel, both Dr and Rheumy said I must have. Only took 1 x 2 and didn't like them. Has anyone else had anything like this? I am now trying to reduce from 37mg.

Osteoporosis of the spine- but also good news!

If anyone can let me know if there's anything I should or should not do (aside from lambkicking) please feel free: don't know anything much except put on to Risedronate (Actonel).

Osteoporosis and prednisone

I also have osteoporosis and have just started Actonel (Risedronate). I have to take the prednisone and it can weaken bones.

GCA and osteoporosis

Is anyone one on Risedronate Sodium ( Actonel) for bones, and what can you tell me. I agreed to take it but don't do well with meds. Thanks. Due to the prednisone.

Methotrexate + methylfolate= any problems?

Aspirin81, Actonel, various vitamins etc. I was taking folic acid until I discovered I have a homozygous C677T MTHFR mutation so now I have to take methylfolate instead. The problem is that my lips have started burning and my eyes are red and burning and blur when I try to read.

Pharmacists/Fosamax

Also, recent research reported last year showed that Actonel was about twice as effective as Fosamax at preventing bone loss, so I'm wondering why so many people are still on Fosamax anyway?
