Hi Rehman, how long did you take Fosamax?
Because I took it to (1xFos / week) but you should not take it for more than 2 years in a row.
After 2 years you have to make a break and see first IF it did work And THEN after a long break restart! That is how we do it in Germany. But in my case it didnt work that good so I took ZoledronicAcid(i.v.) wich is mentioned to be the best solution in Thals with Osteoporossis And/or Osteopenia. Hope this helped you a litlle. Take care.
