| 1 | Osteoporosis | The first 2 times of taking the pills, I experienced no side effects. Then I noticed how tired I was becoming. I slept longer every night, was dragging during the day. A few times I attempted to nap during lunch at work -- which I have never felt compelled to do before! Also noticed my usual bathroom regularity becoming more frequent on a daily basis. Then about 7-8 days ago, very bad diarrhea began (everyday, several times a day). Today I'm so tired I can barely focus. | Have decided to suspend taking Fosamax to see if these side effects go away and support my theory that Fosamax is the cause of them. Will update . . . | F | 51 | 6 weeks 70 1X W | 7/13/2010 | |
| 2 | Osteoporosis | I did stop taking Foxamax and my fatigue has abated considerably. I'm back to feeling the same as I did before I started. It didn't take too long - maybe a week or so, to feel back to normal. I don't think I'll be taking Foxamax, that's for sure! | F | 51 | 0 days 70 1X W | 8/5/2010 | ||
