CGRP Inhibitors and RLS
I can't handle the side-effects of
Topamax
and bradycardia keeps the Dr. from increasing my beta blocker dosage. Several here have pointed out how anti-depressants typical make RLS worse and I've read some articles that indicate they are only marginally helpful for preventing migraines. So....

Six compression fractures in lower spine
I've had six compression fractures in the last three months, all treated with kyphoplasties. On Fosamax and calcium citrate plus vitamin D3. Dexa score is -2.9. Should I be on something stronger?

Last dexa was good news
Two years ago my left femoral was -2.9, well into the osteoporosis range and my spine was .6, but nobody really knows what's going on with my spine because bone spurs which they've seen on a ct can make your spine look much better than it is. My doctor immediately suggested fosamax, but I wanted to

Bone Density Scan
How often is it recommended to have a Bone Density Scan? Mine was about a year and a half ago. Endocrinologist is really pushing the Prolia. I have concerns about it. She verified that after stopping it I would be at risk for spine fractures and have to get on something else. I'm just wondering if

Being Told You Have Osteo .... But Cancer...
Being told I have osteo makes me fear life and old age. It is devastating to say the least. But let me tell you this... being told I have cervical cancer and I am just beginning my fight never made me feel more alive. All the "stuff" just falls away and the value of life never so strong. I am now

Alendronate/Fosamax
Good Morning All~ Anyone using Fosamax? How Long? Any serious side effects? Any results? I just started taking because I was scared into it and have a hx of fractures. Still am uncomfortable with taking it and eventually being able to come off of it. Any input/experiences with this med will be highly

A tooth with a life of it's own!
Hi, all. I wrote in several months ago about a painful tooth. My dentist couldn't find anything wrong with it. He finally referred me to an endodontist, and he did a root canal. Found several issues. Would have been nice if that had been the end of it, but no! The pain would not go away, and I

Alcoholism
The local Thai psychiatrist has tried me on
topamax
and then gabapentin as off label use to try and help me to reduce my heavy drinking, but to no avail. I am lost and suffering with mental health issues also.

Gabapentin
He initially put me on
topamax
, but I found that I was becoming a little bit psychotic. Maybe not psychotic, but feeling a total lack of interest in everything, and increased anxiety and insomnia. I have stopped taking the
topamax
, after 1 month of taking it.

Fosamax
Been on Fosamax for almost 5 yrs with no problems. Now I have a problem. Need tooth extraction and need to stay off Fosamax. I’m getting different opinions as to how long to stay off. Endocrinologist says 3-4 weeks is enough time. Oral surgeon and others say 3-4 months pre and post surgery. Has anyone

Oh and also he gave me a prescription for
Topamax
which is used for migraines & seizures. Um I haven’t even been tested for seizures yet. Don’t feel comfortable about that.

Getting off Prolia
Hi all. My first time here, typing that is. I’ve read a lot. Thank you for your stories. Now for mine. (I’m 67 years old and reasonably fit) I sustained a compression fracture of L2 back in August of 21 while stupidly helping to carry a very heavy item up a flight of steps while walking backwards and

Anyone done Fosamax and then tried Boniva?
My B/C B/S insurance is making me try those in that order. So happy - just took my last 5 mg fosamax left in my bottle, it gives me a stomachs ache every time. Boniva only comes in a 30 day in one pill supply. I am scared of taking that kind of dose. I can try actonel but I would have to pay for

Mum on prolia 6 years, was going ok. Then over the past 3 years has had 3 teeth extracted. Upper mandible
Does the
maxillofacial surgeon
speak up if they thought it was early stage of ONJ, or do I have to ask him somehow? Or does she see her
endo
and discuss? Or can the
GP
reappraise? Mum got talked into 6 years ago, it after first turning it down for a couple of years. I wish she never

just trying fosamax
I have been convinced by 4 doctors and 2 pharmacists that bisphosphonates at least keeps you from getting worse though maybe it doesn’t make you improved. I was given 7 total fosamax tablets and I take 5 mgs per day for now which equals 35 mgs per week which is the lowest dose. I can break the 10

supplements and medicine
For now I take a combination of supplements and medicine for severe osteoporosis and I understand many here do not have as bad numbers as I do so many do not take medicine. I take supplements and strontium citrate just 250 mgs per day on days that I don’t take fosamax . I am trying to take fosamax.

Fosamax??
Is it true that Fosamax only strengthens the outside of the bone and that the core of the bone still continues to weaken? Thats why taking Fosamax is not good to take long term because it will cause femur fx!

Anyone Taking Fosamax Now?
I was just diagnosed with osteoporosis and GP wants me to take Fosamx. Is there anyone here in this group that is taking it and if so can you tell me your experience with it?
