Actonel 35mg Tablets: My Experience and Side Effects
I have been taking Actonel 35mg Tablets for a few months now to treat my osteoporosis, and I wanted to share my experience. The medication seems to be helping with my bone density, but I've had some unpleasant side effects like stomach pain and joint pain. The side effects are making me wonder if it's worth continuing with this treatment. How do others find it?
Stay away from those pills. They are worthless and dangerous. I switched to a natural supplement and I feel much better.
I had to stop taking it because of severe pain in the hip. It was really scary. My doctor said to try a different bisphosphonate and things are going better with the new med. Curious to hear from others who’ve had bone pain.
Spent the last few weeks totally miserable because of Actonel. The chest pain was scary. Ended up stopping it and talking to the doctor and they gave me another medication. Side effects were too much to handle.
I’ve heard that taking it on an empty stomach and staying upright for at least 30 minutes after can help with stomach issues. Also, make sure your calcium and vitamin D levels are in check. Worth a shot if the side effects are bothering you.
I was really worried about the jawbone problems. My mom had a friend who had to have dental surgery because of it. It was terrifying.
I've been on Actonel for over a year and haven't had any issues. Maybe it's worth sticking it out for a bit longer to see if the side effects subside? Good luck!
I was wondering if anyone else felt super tired after taking it. Like, knockdown-drag-out tired. Kind of hard to get through the day.
I've had a similar experience. The joint pain was rough at first, but it got better after a while. Have you talked to your doctor about managing the side effects?
Had some weird eye irritation but nothing crazy. Make sure you're drinking plenty of water and getting enough calcium. Always better to be safe than sorry.
I’ve found that the flu-like symptoms were the worst part for me. It was like having a low-grade fever all the time. Not fun, but it was manageable.
