Is it common to have problems tolerating new osteoporosis meds?

Several months ago the doctor said my low bone density should be treated. He tried me on Fosamax first and I got so sick. I didn’t know for a while that it was the medication doing it, but it totally tore up my intestinal tract and I dropped down to 93 lbs. After several months of recovery, and taking Prilosec with meals; he has started me on Actonel. This week was my second dose and I am starting to have terrible abdominal pain and diarrhea. It all feels too familiar.
