After taking monthly actonel which slowly caused muscle weakness and pain
all over, especially in jaws and feet,heart palpations,severe weakness,
night sweats,confusion.Doctors said symptoms were not related to actonel..but after researching,I realized they could be wrong,so I stopped actonel and slowly started feeling better... but then blood test showed early stage Leukemia.Has this happened to you?

The symptoms you are describing are common side effects of Actonel (risedronate).

Leukemia is not known as a condition which could happen after taking Actonel. The only oncologic problem known is neoplasms, which have occurred in 3% of patients receiving risedronate therapy.
