Fosamax Plus D User Reviews
Fosamax Plus D - User Reviews
Extreme stiffness and pain in hip and spine if sedentary for more than 1 hour. Getting out of bed in the morning was agony. Movement reduces symptoms. No longer taking. Side effects outweighs benefit.
I was recently diagnosed with a fracture of my femur. My dr. says this is a little advertised side effect of taking fosamax for over 5 years!! PLEASE be aware that in some women it can have this effect only in the femur. It is NOT in any Merck literature but in Europe drs. require their patients to stop it after 5 years!! Be advised.

I tried to take this med twice and both times I experienced vomitting and diarreha both times. I advised my doctor and am waiting to see if I can use another med.
After using bisphosphonates for 12 yrs. two months ago I have 2 teeth extracted & the pathology report said those areas had osteonecrosis (bone death) plus bacteria. It does not show up in dental x-rays so be sure you have a biological type dentist. Do not take Fosamax is my recommendation.
I am still in so much pain I do not think this is doing the job!!I used to take evista and I wasn't hurting as much then
