I've been taking Fosamax for about six months now to manage my osteoporosis. I've had some pretty rough side effects, so I wanted to reach out and see if anyone else has had similar issues! I've experienced some stomach upset, and I am worried about the long term risks. The side effects sound terrifying! Is anyone else nervous about the jawbone problems? I've also seen some mixed information about the effectiveness. Does it really prevent fractures? I would love to hear your experiences and advice. P.S. Any tips on how to manage the stomach upset would be great! I know that these medications aren't one size fits all, so I'd love to hear from anyone who has had a positive experience with this medication as well.

I've been taking Fosamax 35mg for a few months now, and while I'm glad it's helping my osteoporosis, I'm a bit worried about the potential side effects. Has anyone else experienced any serious issues? Especially with regards to jawbone problems. The risks are scary, and I want to know if anyone else has had any troubles. My doctor didn't say much about these risks, but I've seen some alarming information online. Anyone else dealing with this?
