I took Atelvia for 5 weeks. The first 3 weeks were horrible - felt like I had the flu.

Oh e stomach cramps, diarrhea and joint pain. I gave it three doses and that's it! Kept hoping it would get better! I am done with it! Maybe they could market it as a diet pill!

Comment:
I found this very easy to take right after breakfast, unlike Actonel. I have taken it for several years and had no side effects whatsoever . In most of the affected areas it seemed to keep osteopenia as is but in some areas it worsened to osteoporosis so it is time to switch to an injectable . It did not improve condition but kept it from getting worse in most places.
