What are the side effects from taking Fosamax?

REPLY

REPORT

Body pain and weakness. Have taken Fosamax 3 times. All of a sudden a "wave" comes over me. I get real weak and I feel like I have the flu. My bones, joints, skin, hair all ache. I have to take 2 aspirin and go sit down. Then being so week, I fall asleep. After approx 30 minutes I feel better and carry on! Does anyone else have these symptoms? Never had this prior to taking the med.

Since taking Fosamax, I've been experiencing back pain, left leg cramps, thigh pain, and a fast heart rate. Can these be related? I have low ferritin (32) and vitamin D (at 37).
