Is Evista Safe In The Treatment Of Osteoporosis?

What can you tell me about evista? I was diagnosed with osteopenia 2 years ago. My doctor wanted me to go on evista then and I refused. I have now been diagnosed with osteoporosis and am scared to death to try this. I hate taking any type of medications.
