| 1 | Osteoporosis | Feel dreadful. So tired all the time, feeling so low and depressed. Awful cramps in my legs and feet. | I hate taking this medication. I couldn't feel worse. | F | 68 | 1 years 35mg 1X W | 11/15/2020 | 2 | Osteoporosis | Continual aches in leg muscles and feet. Neck pain, knee pain & headaches. All of these I did not suffer before taking risedronate. Also increased pain around arm where I had a metal plate inserted after a fracture 7 years ago. | Obviously I would like to increase my bone health but not if this drug is going to make me suffer this pain & discomfort everyday. I am very frightened about continuing with this drug.There must be another way! | F | 62 | 5 weeks 35 1X W | 11/5/2020 | 1 | Osteo per MD | Projectile vomiting, diarrhea, shaking chills, nausea, aches and pains, no appetite. | Never again! | F | 72 | 2 days 150 mg 1X day | 10/22/2020 | 1 | Osteoporosis | 1 dose taken in the mid-afternoon. Woke up at midnight, vomiting. Severe back and hip pain for 24 hours, and I mean really bad, easing in intensity daily over about 10 days. Day 2, muscle pain all over the body kicked off (felt like I'd run a marathon or 3) which gradually eased off over about 3 weeks. Soon after I developed joint pain in knees, feet and elbows especially. Still have that now, and that one dose of Actonel I took was 2 years ago. The joint pain maybe unrelated to the drug, but no-one can tell me what the problem is, so I am a bit suss that it kicked something off in my body that won't settle. | I wouldn't risk it unless your bones are in such a bad state that the risk is of side effects is a lesser evil. | F | 58 | 1 days 35mg 1X W | 10/21/2020 | 1 | Osteoporosis | 1 dose taken in the mid-afternoon.
