There is no such thing as a safe med.
I broke 2 ribs without any trauma. Just over reached.
I got a hairline fracture in the hip simply lifting a 20 pound box.
Emergency room xrays showed significant osteoporosis, and bone density scan looked bad too.
All unusual for my age.
Did it come from 20 years of psych meds? Which med(s)? Did it come from lyme antibiotics? Is it hereditary?
Who knows.
You will have to be careful, most likely the rest of your life, because I do not believe brittle bones can be restored. I believe the best we can do is arrest the situation or slow it down, but not reverse it significantly.
Your supplements should include Vitamin K, Magnesium, Calcium, Vitamin D, Biosil (silica) and the doses should be therapeutic, which means higher than normal doses.
