Experience with Actonel or Fosamax
Has anyone experience taking
Actonel
or Fosamax [u]without[/u] esophageal symptoms? Did you take it daily, weekly or monthly? Also, what improvement has your DEXA scan shown? My physician says she has just started taking
Actonel
and is encouraging me to do so.

First dose of Actonel
I took my first dose of
Actonel
this morning, 35mg. I have had diarrhea since an hour after taking it. Will this pass as I get used to it?

Starting Reclast
About 15 years ago, I was on
Actonel
for a year, but had significant esophageal side-effects and stopped it. I realize that an infusion of this same basic medication will not cause the same side-effects, but there are so many others I have read about and I am very nervous to start this process.

Looking for feedback: should I consider meds again? Change drs?
Eventually I stopped HRT and we went to
Actonel
and then atlevia but had GI symptoms. Had one reclast infusion in June 2019. Last Bone Density was in 10/20.

Has anyone had sacral ala (pelvic) insufficiency fracture while on Prolia and/or a bisphosphonate?
I've been on
Actonel
35mg weekly for the past 18 months as a relay drug to discontinue Prolia without fracturing.

Help and Opinions on Prolia for Osteoporosis
I have taken
Actonel
, Boniva, Forteo and Fosamax already. I really did not want to consider this because of the possibility of side affects lasting for 6 months. Then decided it is probably the right step.

p. 121 (re. patients taking
Actonel

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

Prolia
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?

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.
