I
WAS taking Actonel for osteoporosis, but I found it gave me morning sickness. I'd wake up about 4:30-5:00am and I'd vomit over and over. I finally stopped taking them. The vomiting has since stopped, but I haven't been game to tell my doctor yet.
I broke 6 bones in 5 years, and that's not counting earlier fractures, so I daresay I'm in the same boat as you Maryann.
I wish there was something out there that would stop me breaking bones, but which was gentle on my stomach.
I even vomited blood a few weeks ago, and I think it was related to this osteo medication. Either that or I've given myself an ulcer!

My Vit D level was low and my neuro put me on a supplement, but I do take nexium and an anti-epilepsy medication for chronic nerve pain.
