For Osteoporosis "I took Actonel on Monday on a weekly dosage. I have been so sick for 3 days with stomach ache, headache, sore back, and vomited once. I will not continue. How long does it take to get better? I have been off work."

For Prevention of Osteoporosis "Had one tablet. The worst ever indigestion I've ever had after a couple of days, then a week later really bad lower back pain and pain in the stomach. First and last tablet, I'll just go the natural way. Can't put up with that. Ridiculous."

For Osteoporosis "I took Actonel for one month and experienced severe hip, back, and neck pain. I have gone from being fit and active to not being able to move around without pain. I am unable to go to work. I will definitely seek out an alternative."
