Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Rapid weight gain is a possible side effect of fosamax. I will suggest that report this to your doctor so that he can review this drug and make the decision on whether to continue or not. How much weight have you gained? If this isn’t too concerning, the benefits of this drug would probable outweigh the need to stop it.

I wish you well and do keep me posted about this.
