I posted mainly to point out other factors involved and in fairness of the info, on other agents (meds specifically) which MAY contribute to loss of bone density. I believe I read a post which someone posted their SSRI use gave them osteoporosis. (Smile)
To date, I know of no recommendations from any reputable sources (well, reputable IMO) on the drugs nor on their classes listed in my post above which advises the ditching of any of those meds due to any huge risk of worsening the condition. The unchangeable risk factors of age and gender appear to me to be the paramount ones if one is looking at what are the true "reasons".
In fact the 2007 study, which is cited, clearly states more information is needed and clearly states the study's potential to be not a true reflection of the actual risk.
I understand your concern for your personal health but do you really believe AD's and developing or worsening osteoporosis have a true connection worth discontinuing their use?
