On it for two weeks - two pills (that's it)and four weeks later my body is still in horrible pain. How long does it take to flush out of your system. This is poison!

This was the most scary experience taking Fosamax. The first 70mg. pill taken I was okay. However, the second pill I was a mess. In the bed for 2 days and could not get out, because the pain in hands, hips, joints was terrible, I had to take Ibuprofen to combat the pain. Hardly could move, nausea etc. Not worth the grief...Buyer be aware of this rx.

I had my first dose (70 mg tablet) Sunday and by Monday afternoon experienced severe hip pain. That evening I developed back pain. Tuesday I could not bend over and I could not walk. Severe back, ankle and knee pain, also very tight chest and difficulty breathing. By Wednesday pain was manageable with ibuprofen but still cannot take a deep breath. Doctor took me off this drug. I don't know what he will prescribe next. I take tamoxifen for breast cancer (diagnosed September 2012). I am grateful that my adverse reaction was so swift and definite, because I would not want to have this drug in my body for any length of time.
