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?So she has given me Actonel to wean me off it, for the next three months.

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).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).

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.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.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.

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?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?
