Took my 1st 150 mg oral dose 3 weeks ago. Doctor prescribed generic Ibandronate Sodium. Experienced SEVERE bone pain all over, especially in my back. Pain comes for 2 days, hits hard and goes away. Three weeks later & the pain is back. Won't take anymore after reading reviews & talking to my doctor.

After my 3rd month of Boniva I am discontinuing this treatment. I had mild side effect after the first dosis and charged it to stress. After my second dosis I developed flu like symptoms, stomach cramps, diarrhea, and pain everywhere. Called my gynocologist but he just referred me to my PCP. The PCP prescribed Zantax, which I refused to take because the side effects also stated stomach issues - that I already had plenty of. I took my 3rd dosis this week and 5 days later I am finally able to sit straight, eat and function normally. The pain was unbelievable and I had work through it (unable to take leave). I spent my evenings sleeping and just exhausted from pain. I will not take Boniva EVER again. I thought I was overreacting but reading all these other reviews I feel normal - while many thought I was just overreacting. Very reassuring that my symptoms are not in my "head" but REAL. Not sure what to do next for treatment - I don't see my doctors as any help. Wonderful healthcare system :( NOT!!!

I am scared that this back pain will not go away. I am 5 ... Show Full Comment
