Hi Sharon, welcome and thanks for your question. Normally you don't wait to start a new treatment after Forteo. Check with you Dr to see if he or she agrees. I started Evista the day after I finished Forteo.
Good luck, did you do well on Forteo? Hope so; if you have another question just post again.

Hi Sharon,
My doctor said that I should start on a bisphosphonate right after finishing Forteo but that I had up to 6 months before loosing bone density. Since I was looking for other alternatives to bisphosphonates I waited and close to 6-7 months after stopping Forteo the bone density I gained was already lost. I figured that some new medication would come on the market but it really didn't so I'm back on Forteo again.
