I Have Been Taking Fosamax For Several Year. One Tablet

I have been taking Fosamax for several year.
One tablet a week.
I recently retired. In my notes, I have that I took 70 mg - 1 tablet a week.
Optum RX is now sending me Alendronate Sodium Tablets at 35 mg* which I am taking once a week.
I have been ill for about a month now with nausea, an upset stomach, and headaches.
Could this be my problem? I am thinking a lesser dosage would not be, but I can't seem to find out what my problem is.
