Hi, xmas25, and welcome to this forum. I've never taken reclast, so am unable to answer your question. Once-a-month Actonel gave me bad side effects, so I only took one dose. That's when I changed doctors, and my new doctor put me on a supplement regimen, because she said I would have had problems with other osteo meds as well. I hope you can find the answers you need. Best wishes.

Hi xmas...I have never taken it either, but I took flosamax, I took one dose and had a SERIOUS side effect and I never took another dose! I too am trying on my own to do the herbal thing My doc disagrees with me and wants me to to a rheumy or an endogrenolist (don't even know what that is) but all doctors want to do is push RX drugs!

I was just DX with osteoporosis 3 weeks ago! I told my doc in an email that I would not be continuing my med, she said fine, but my plan of vitamins will not help me enough because my osteo was too sever!

Really? DId this Osteoporosis happen overnight? NO! So I think I can take care of myself with diet and vitamins! Yes, I used to fall alot, but I have changed that too! Standing up slower, not bending over, ect.

The way I see this in my situation and along with nanny is docs want to push meds, but if one osteo med doesn't work then others will not work either!

Good luck xmas!

I took a once a month pill for 3 months years ago and it made me so sick and I thought I was having a heart attack, now like nellie I just try to help my bones with diet and supplements, for me those medicines are dangerous, just my opinion. Hope your doing better now. Big hug.
